    225 ELDM failure on elk shoulder

    This season has been eye opening for me in terms of LR bullets failing to perform well on elk (specifically shoulder shots) I had a really bad personal experience with the 215 Berger on a bull at 680 yards, and also spoke with a hunter who had a 300 grain Berger blow up at 775 yards on an elk...

    215 Berger failure

    I shot my bull yesterday at 680 yards with a 215 berger, mv 3020. First shot was in the lungs, he hunched up and I sent a second round a little hasty... It hit him in the center of the neck where it meets the shoulder. Should have dropped in his tracks but the bull barely flinched. He ran off...

    225 ELDM accuracy issues

    I've been trying to get a good load together with 225 ELDM's in my 300 PRC and am having consistency issues..
