[QUOTE="distant1, post: 284854, member: 8506"] Thanks for the welcome guys and the advice I got onto the Bergers after watching John Porter and John Burns from the best of the west drop everything like a stone with them I mapped them against the SMK with the same starting velocity in the Night force software and the berger turns up over 200fps faster at 800 so the slippery BC of the berger VLD and its game expansion make it look like a good choice. It sounds like the accubond has a great following as well for LR hunting , the largest animal I will be poking holes in will be our Red stags (a slightly smaller version of your elk but similar model) and our big thick set Javan Rusa deer they both provide plenty of expantion area and are heavily muscled animals. When John porter comes back from his Griz trip in Alaska (lucky bugger) I am going to organise my 2011 late season elk trip with him at Morning Creek , its a long way from OZ but its on the bucket list and Im ticking them off one shot at a time. It sounds like you all have a couple of sweet loads with more than one bullet if I am reading things right it looks like the SMK , AMAX and Accubonds get the tick for good hunting bullets. To just focus on the "In animal performance" for a moment could you give me an idea of your personal experience in the taking of game with traditional shoulder shots ? have you got more "in /outs" than retained in animal performance with one or the other. I know its the Grail and there will be lots of angles to view it but if I can I would like to settle on one bullet and load then lock it up and spend my time becoming a better marksman with a rifle that I hope to wander the world with. Thanks you guys are great. [/QUOTE]
