I shoot elk...a lot of them in fact. Big ones as frequently as luck and my skill allow for. I've done so with about a dozen or more different bullets and calibers (not to include the ones I've killed with my bow or MZ).
As near as I can recall, every one of them tipped an elk over with relatively little drama when I shot them in the chest somewhere.
As technology/my skills/ my budget have allowed I've been able to shoot them from increasingly further distance with corresponding confidence. Bergers seem to help in that equation.
YMMV.

p.s. Am I a "triggered millennial"? I don't even know what that means honestly, but it sounds pretty sinister.
If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.
