[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1803687, member: 112648"] I hunted with Bergers and ELDM'S for years, I've taken quite a few elk and deer with these bullets and have seen some really poor terminal performance with these match bullets. After last season I'm totally done with anything that's not bonded, at least for elk. I had multiple failures with Berger 215's, and witnessed a 300 grain Berger completely explode on an elk shoulder at 800 yards. Also saw a 225 eldm blow up at 700 on an elk shoulder. I could care less about how fast an animal falls when hit perfectly behind the shoulder, not worth the unpredictable performance or total lack of penetration when heavy muscle or bone is hit.
