[QUOTE="AZHTR, post: 2134218, member: 105904"] Great thread of information here! Sorry for the long response. My only notable experience with Berger 168 VLD’s from my 7 Mag. 400 yards broadside shot on this elk. The elk turned and ran like a race horse. Waited for a long while and worked my way over to where I thought the bull was hit......no blood/not a drop. Followed tracks and at ~70 yards or so picked up some blood, at a 100 yards it was “spraying” 3/4 feet on both sides of his tracks. Found the elk ~300 yards from where it was hit. 1/2” entrance and exit hole (that’s why it was spraying) the lungs were disintegrated (basically mush - didn’t hit a rib or nothing). I was happy to find the elk, but VERY disappointed in the lack of initial blood trail. If we would have been in thick country it could have been a different outcome. Impressive internal damage, but I need I believe I need a bullet that can create a good exit hole. (Look at the picture, no blood at all on his side) [/QUOTE]
