Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Berger bullets for elk?

Most of us only hunt a partial day a year.

Get with the Program!

are yall really still bitchin about this? isnt it actually hunting season right now.

I for one, would much rather see a summary of someones hunting success (or at least a good lessons-learned) summary from a recent trip, rather than seeing the last volleys of a month-old pissing match.

yall really need to give up bickering, and take up hunting. its a helluvalot more fun, and way more productive.

all that said, good luck in the coming seasons, no matter what bullet you're using. :P

in the interest of a better re-direct.... I had a great, (albeit fruitless) trip to Colorado this year. We went 0 for 4, but had a great time. Several opportunities presented themselves, but we never closed the deal.

And none of us had a Berger in our pocket (while bowhunting).

Well it took a few days on the bear, but the cow moose was only a day. I am not opposed to killing a bull in about 10 hours from now though. To be safe I did bring along a few extra supplies though:). Good luck to those headed out tomorrow, be safe.

I got some rabbits with a 124gr FMJ. Seemed to work pretty good except to the ear hit.



Lesson learned was that bunnies need noggin shots not ear shots and even the awesomely powerful 9mm with 124 FMJs won't produce a "DRT" without decent shot placement.

Lower the rear sight and load Bergers

VLDs in my carry gun? The bad guys had better keep a very low profile.

I understand Eric and the crew at Berger are coming out with a VLD 124gr 9mm. It has a BC right at 0.875 on the G1. Going to be the hot setup in a defensive pistol.

Probably a good thing

If a VLD can drop 800 pound animals instantly like I've seen, Bad Guys and agressive rabbits are cake

Watch out for the rabbits.

I am entirely happy with my Long rage accubonds.

Very High BC
super accuracy
good penetration
good weight retention
good expansion

and they do not look like crap when recovered----personal thing.

Perfectly said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rebated boat tail. Matrix bullets start.

My son and I both shot 6x6's using bergers each one shot kills.

We where hunting in northern New Mexico

I shot a 5 point Bull this yr 247 yds with 185gr Berger out of my 300 RUM with a muzzle Velocity of 3195 FPS

the damage to the bull was huge!! Bullet worked exactly like it should have!! I'm sold on them!!

Killed my bull this year in Wyoming. Rem 700, .300 Win Mag, 185 Berger Hunting VLD. One shot, quartering away, 474 yards. DRT!





Worked just like advertised for me!

I've been really tempted to try Bergers 'cause they shoot VERY well from my '06 but I just don't want to mess with success....180 Accubonds and H-4350 at old standard .30/06 velocities has worked for my last eight bulls. From 23 yards out to 475.
