Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 6.5 cm bullet for elk/moose

I have only killed 1 3 point mule deer with a berger - 168 out of a 7mag, distance was about 150 yards, so not a huge sample size, but after seeing what the 139 scenar did for me last fall on 3 mule deer and an antelope, I am with Pat - they are harder than a Berger.

One of the mule deer killed last fall with a 139, was shot at 240 ish yards, bullet hit front shoulder bone, busted it, pushed through and busted opposite side shoulder bone and exited with a 2" hole...Caused some tremendous damage - no doubt it would break through a big bull elk/moose shoulder.
