[QUOTE="bootsking, post: 2047519, member: 4596"] Using the 175 Berger Hunting VLD in a 300 Winmag, I've taken 5 elk from 350-550 yards with perfect terminal performance. My buddy borrowed the rig this year and shot a cow at 125yd. Apparently the shot hit the shoulder or leg, bowled the elk over, but it got up and ran off with no blood at all on the snow. I think the message is all ballistic tip style of bullet is risky at short range / high velocity if you hit a bone.; something like a CoreLok is probably the best bet for this scenario. Load it as the first bullet to shoot, followed by a good long range style like the Berger or ELDM. No single bullet is optimum for these extremes! [/QUOTE]
