[QUOTE="Peregrine82, post: 1698391, member: 82440"] I find the Bergers are great bullets at long range or at lower velocities. I have never shot them at elk, yet I have used them on Mule deer quite a bit. The damage they do to the vitals is tremendous but on close shots with high-velocity cartridges, the bullet comes apart and makes a mess out of the meat on the offside of a deer. I am sure a 180 grain or heavier bullet in 95% of cases with a Berger will do the job, but I still feel more comfortable shooting a bonded or monolithic bullet with elk, especially a big bull just in case the perfect shot changes a bit.
