[QUOTE="curtiscd, post: 1252067, member: 98275"] Thank you. I was working on a load for the 175 and hadn't found anything that I felt confident in before heading to the high country for elk. I instead chose to shoot a Berger and was not the least bit impressed. I put 3 rounds through him at 520 yards and not a single bullet opened up for me. The final shot that put him down passed through his shoulders and exited with a hole no larger than a dime. Upon walking up to him, I had to put a ballistic tip through him at 10 yards to put him down for good. So yea, as far as Bergers shoot they are incredible, but killing left a bad taste in my mouth. My load for the 175 was at 67.4 gr H-1000 Federal 215 and Hornady brass. Pushing them at 2940 @ about 1 MOA. I wasn't seeing any pressure, but started really light and just ran out of time before the hunt. [/QUOTE]
