[QUOTE="Elkeater, post: 1698333, member: 103670"] Ok I’m not trying to start anything but here’s my experience with Bergers and why I trust accubonds. I have killed my last 9 elk with a 180 or 200 accubond in my .300 win mag. Only two did not exit. One was driven through the front shoulder of a cow elk back towards the hind quarter at a range of 40 yards. I found the perfect mushroom in the opposite hind quarter. The other one that didn’t exit was driven into the neck of a front facing bull. The bullet went through the neck into the chest cavity and didn’t come out. I have not lost an elk and most only go 30 or so yards. Now my only experience with bergers was using a 215 hybrid in a .300 win mag on antelope. 1 antelope was shot at 200 yards and the bullet hit a rib (not shoulder) and blew up failing to enter the chest cavity. The animal had to be shot again. The other antelope was shot a 200 yards as well and the bullet performed perfectly. I just can’t bring myself to trust them. Obviously with the accubonds placement is critical as with any other bullet. I usually use the meat saver shot off the shoulder. But have put them directly through the shoulder without trouble.
