[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 2227139, member: 34818"] Different bullets for different folks style and type of hunting is all it boils down too and putting the bullet in the vitals. Hammer, berger, Hornady, Sierra and nosler bullets all kill animals if you put the bullet where it needs to be. I use a 195 Gr Berger in my 7 MAX going 2940 FPS and it has killed everything I have shot with it. I have a New Mexico bull elk tag in a highly desired area this year and will use that bullet with a lot of confidence. My son will also use it for his cow elk hunt. I just ordered 100 of the 169 Gr hammer hunters to build a load during this coming winter and would have no problem using it on an elk hunt either. Every bullet has a limitation of some sort. It’s a give and take. Berger bullets have a really high BC but are very fragile so I use them as a bullet that needs a behind the shoulder shot and not come into contact with any bone. Hammer bullets are are a solid copper with a lower BC comparatively speaking to the other lead core bullets but you can take shoulder shots with them and be just fine and also step down in weight class and push them fast. I am not a bullet hater and keep my mind open to everyone’s experience both good and bad. But the bottom line is that pretty much every bullet will do its job if you put it in the vitals and know that bullets limitation. It’s just a preference on how you hunt and the terrain you hunt in [/QUOTE]
