[QUOTE="ultimag43, post: 2501949, member: 122593"] dont do magnums in any shape form or caliber never will and I've never had to track an elk more then 60 yards after shooting them from 20 yards to just this side of 700 yards in my 35+yrs of killing them with the 280 ai and 150 grain or the 6.5 with 143 [ my 2 personal choices ] everyone has a personal preference mine is no need for a magnum no matter what flavor or game animal . it just makes me laugh when people think the creed won't kill n elk past 300 yards its pure bull chit killed many an elk at ranges that i know wasn't impacting anywhere near 1500 ft lbs upon impact [closer to 1325 FT LBS upon impact ] and non went farther then 60 yards doesn't take 1500 ft LBS to kill an elk cleanly 1300 will do it just fine. as far as tracking poorly hit elk thats because the clown behind the rifle didn't have the ability to place the bullet in the vitals or tried shooting at a distance that was beyond their capabilities NOT the fault of the caliber used. never tried bergers I'm a fan of hornady eld x and federal terminal accent or fusions along with hornady brass magtech primers and super performance powder . I'm not one for the most popular flavor of the month club [hammer nosler leapould lapau] i tend to run with the not so popular most hated crowd [THE CREED and anything hornady definitely fits this category ] i like it that way [/QUOTE]
