[QUOTE="69firebird, post: 1270141, member: 60389"] Looking at loading my .300 weatherby and 30-378 bee with bergers. Right now I bought a boat load of 185gr classics off a guy getting out of reloading, Ive got 600 lol. For moose and elk. My concern is the high velocity, design of the Bergers and under 100 yards. Potential shooting through brush. This year I shot a moose at 55 yards facing me in small trees. I had 150gr Partitions in my 7mm bee. 1st shot through the right shoulder and into the vitals bullet was under the hide in front of back leg, next 2 shots through the ribs, lungs, and exited. It went 20 feet and dropped. I have only loaded 155gr VLDs in my .308 and shot 6 whitetail all bang flops 60 to 300 yards. I like how they drop deer in their tracks, thinking it could work for moose and elk. I encounter moose and elk 30 to 400 yards. I understand shot placement with these Bergers are critical. And I'm thinking they wouldn't have worked on my moose this year and I don't want to limit myself in the future to wide open broadside shots. It just doesn't happen like that where i hunt. I come from a family where all my Grandpa and Dad load are partitions or A frames. And I've been doing the same. And they work. So maybe I SHOULDN'T BOTHER CHANGING. [/QUOTE]
