[QUOTE="BigJam, post: 1733656, member: 12077"] Rang the grizzly bear dinner bell and took a 64" bull moose in British Columbia a few weeks ago 7mm LRM, 180gr Berger 425yds and dropped it. Had a shot at 1000yds but wasn't comfortable that bullet energy would suffice so stalked in. This is a little bit off the topic but I have great luck with Bergers at 200+ yds but closer I find we are doing a lot of tracking and not always successfu. Took a 300" 6x6 elk a couple days after the moose at 50 yards in heavy bush. Double lung shot and we found him just as his legs wobbled and went down and put another in just to be safe as it was the last minutes of the last night of our hunt. Have lost a few deer at close ranges there is blood but very little, we found one 3 days later by seeing the crows circling. Although I've had on rare occasions the opposite where the exit would was pretty well the entire front quarter of the hide, messy! So thinking about going back to Barnes when hunting closer ranges anyone else have similar experience with Bergers at closer ranges? [/QUOTE]
