[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2444873, member: 51405"] There certainly is more meat loss but I feel it makes up for it in a quick kill and minimal chance of a lost animal. I haven’t elk hunted a ton but I have heard plenty of stories about how tough they can be and how far they can go. But my point was more around Berger’s being too explosive up close. Some are…I would never take that shot with a 168 Berger. But I will take that shot on a whitetail all day with a 168 VLD out of a 280 Ackley. But what I am ultimately getting at is that bullets take a lot flack for failing to work, blowing up, penciling, etc. But I think an overwhelming majority of the time, if people use the bullets as intended and make a good shot then the animal should go down fairly quickly.
