Without getting into the religion of bullets, it seems pretty clear that YOU were not confident in your bullet selection. No matter what anyone says, the next time out you will spend more time thinking about your bullet choice than hunting.

Having once taken a 30-06 with a frangible bullet after elk, it sucked. Probably would have been fine but I dwelled on the issue and did not enjoy the hunt.

Confidence in what you are shooting is probably more important than Berger vs. Barnes. Because you probably are just going to get ate anyway. Just ask this guy.
