[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2355367, member: 103317"] I have used the 180 grain Berger Hybrids in my 7mm LRM since I first bought it ten years ago. I also use 140 Elite Hunters in my 6.5's, 175's in my 28 Nosler and 245's in my 300 PRC. They have worked out great for me with no lost animals to date, knock on wood and I have used them from 50 yards to 851 yards on game in the States and in South Africa. I have had a couple pencil through shots, one just a few weeks ago on a Muley Doe at 367 yards but no lost animals. I pulled the trigger and my hunting buddy said miss. I saw the impact so i knew it wasn't a miss but she ran like the devil for 30 yards with no indication and then piled up like she had been hit by a freight train. Luckily eastern Montana is pretty open terrain so I never lost sight of her. Upon gutting the little darlin the bullet missed the ribs going in and out but did put a nice hole in the lungs while it was in there. Not a drop of blood until I got to where she was laying. Sometime **** happens and more times than not its the shooter, not the equipment. JMO I agree with FEENIX that every time I put a deer, elk or antelope in my crosshairs my heart rate elevates so much that I can see the beats in my scope. When that stops happening, Im done hunting.
