I can see that the audience is mainly Berger detractors. The OP asked for experiences with Bergers on elk, yet the thread drew many of the usual suspects, who once again pontificate and preach of the evils and limitations and failures of target bullets on game animals.

Do you see what I am getting at here? Bergerphobia. If you don't like what they do, there are many other bullets you can use. I don't just shoot Berger bullets in my rifle. I may not hunt solely with Berger bullets. There are real benefits to using VLD, high-BC bullets, and I've yet to see any of the limitations that are often touted as the inherent flaws in Berger bullets for game.

Methinks thou dost protest too much!
