[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2638182, member: 105681"] My crew has stacked up about 19 deer, antelope and cow elk with the 124 HH and the 135 Berger out of the Creedmoor and PRC over the past 4 years. I gotta say out to 600 yds I'm switching over to the 124's. There every bit as deadly and I'm not cleaning up such a **** bloodshot mess. Berger's are just really hard on meat. I love the way they fly in the Utah desert and Wyoming winds, but man I won't shoot an antelope with them anymore. Just a disaster. We killed 7 goats with everything from a 115 Berger out of a 25-06 to a 7 mag with168 Accubond LR. The cleanest carcasses were with the Hammers and surprisingly the Accubond LR did great. The closest was 200 yds with a Creedmoor and the 143 ELD-X. It was ugly. They were all stoned dead but as a home butcher for all our hunting animals, man I spent a ton of time cleaning up bloodshot. I'm over it. If there's a 800 yd shot I have to make in a 10 mph crosswind I'll be single feeding a Berger, but short of that, for everything else, we're switching to Hammer's, Terminal Ascent and Accubonds.
