762 ULTRAMAGA
WKR
I was fortunate to fill my tag this morning with my newly built 30 Nosler, and... it was with the newish 220 Berger LRHT.
MV was 2975, I shot him at 300 yards at a -30 degree angle.
The bullet entered rear liver, and passed through under the offside scapula lodging in the fur in his chest.
He made it about 30 yards and swayed a few times before going down.
Edit to add: this was after the 2nd shot which I failed to mention in my original post, I hit him the first time in the same spot and he ran a bit then stood there for awhile until I sent another one in.
The wound channels overlapped and I only recovered the one bullet shown.
Apologies for the information oversight I posted this immediately after and was still excited from the hunt. End edit.
The bullet opened beautifully and also held together well, the recovered portion weighed 118 grains.
The lungs were shredded nicely, I've been Berger hesitant for awhile but I'm impressed
