[QUOTE="wbygunner, post: 444689, member: 14756"] This is my first year shooting Bergers. 300 WSM - 175 grain VLD - 3018 fps at muzzle. Here are my results: Mule Deer buck - 346 yards - quartering away - entered at last rib and stuck in hide on off side shouler - DRT Mule Deer buck (friend used my rifle) - 120 yards - laying down - high shoulder shot, bullet found in off side hide (hit bottom of spine) - DRT Whitetail buck - 130 yards - behind shoulder double lung, bullet exited - DRT Whitetail doe - 20 yards - behind shoulder double lung/heart, bullet exited - DRT Whitetail buck - 210 yards - behind shoulder double lung, bullet exited - ran 10 yards and dropped. While none of these animals were close in size to an elk, the Bergers performed flawlessly. All but one of the shots were what I consider close and they did better than I expected. They caused massive damage but did not "explode" on contact as some have claimed, especially at 20 yards (1/2" entry hole and 2 1/2" exit). Love me some Bergers!!! [/QUOTE]
