[QUOTE="GSP814, post: 2036576, member: 92703"] I shot a 6x6 bull elk in Colorado this year at 314 yards in the shoulder semi-broadside. The rifle was a Gunwerks RevX in 7mm RM shooting HSM factory ammo, 168 Berger's at an average speed of 2929 fps. The elk turned and lifted his leg up upon the hit indicating a broken shoulder and hobbled about 10 yards closer. I shot a second time hitting right behind the left shoulder and the elk dropped. No exits on either bullet, top half of heart was gone and the shoulder was busted but didn't look too bad. I shot a 10 point whitetail in Texas with the same load at 100 yards, hit the shoulders broadside (pulled that shot) breaking both shoulders with no exit. The deer went down on both front shoulders and leg kicked about 40 yards before flipping over. It took about 30 seconds for him to die, I couldn't put another round in him because he fell in front of some trees. The camp butcher didn't tell me anything about the damage but I only got half a deer (the back half quartered). Overall, I'm happy and the Berger's shoot great. [/QUOTE]
