[QUOTE="Broz, post: 551561, member: 7503"] I personally have tested the 210 Berger Hunting VLD's on game at all distances. The closest was a small doe antelope at 60 yards fired from a 30-378 with a MV of 3050 fps. It was a complete pass through with a 2 t0 3" exit. The bull below in my signature was taken with a 30-378 with the 210 @ 250 yards. Center shoulder and both front shoulder broken, heart and lungs were jelly. Needless to say he never wondered away more than one or two steps. Last year both my wife and I took our elk with my 300 win and 210 bergers. Her cow was at 415 yards , my bull was at 803 yards in both cases we had complete pass throughs with the bullets. Shot placement with any bullet is the key to how fast they are dispatched. If the shot is offered I recommend going in from the crease behind the near shoulder and intersecting the far shoulder. If you get a 210 Berger into the vital are of an elk he is toast. My list of taken game is very long with 210 Bergers. Deer, antelope, aoudad, elk, black bucks, black bear, yotes and on. I have never had a shot where I felt a bullet failed. Hope this helps. Jeff Here is a rib cage pic from a large bull at 250 yards from the 30-38 with 210's. This is the exit side after the bullet passed through part of the near shoulder [IMG]http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg91/JBroz1/DSC00721Large.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
