[QUOTE="earl1704, post: 2309320, member: 8946"] The Berger bullet did not expand, passed straight through, poor shot area 'but' with a 300 grain bullet it should have done some damage. This is a problem with Berger's (not looking for an argument) Four years ago my son put me on a bull elk, 300 yds. shot 5 times in the bread basket the elk did not move more than a few feet. My son a former Marine Sniper Scout (he knows his business) watched the shots hit. After a neck shot brought him down we found all five shots but no major damage in the vitals just pass through's. Went back with a metal detector found a small amount of copper on the exit side just below the hide. No bullet stayed in the innards no real damage. I would check the loads to make sure they had enough energy to expand (I assume you have). For the future shoot at some water bottles/ballistic gels at approximant same distance and see what you get on expansive results. [/QUOTE]
