212eldx or 215 Berger hybrid 300PRC on elk?

So is the 208 berger for sale at Midway right now that much different than the 215??
Not much. I experimented with the 208 last year. Shot lots of hogs and two deer. Everything i shot performed like the 215's. The deer I shoot you could pretty much run your arm through the cavity. I wouldn't hesitate to not use them. I actually have a 300 win mag zeroed in with them. I can post the recipe shortly with them. I can pull it up on a spreadsheet using my phone.

And there has been 210vld hunters with scattered availability...
Maybe they are a little thinner/thicker than the 208's??

Why in God's green earth would a company have such a good thing in the 215 then make 27 more items and not be able to delivery any of them to keep pace with demand?? I can't fathom this stupidity.

Of course Nosler could put a plastic tip on a partitioned vld shaped bullet and own the whole market. Gosh, maybe I need to settle down must be ready for Saturday LOL
 
I bought the Berger 215's quite a few years ago and have had great luck with them on a lot of animals, but running low on them so don't shoot it much anymore. They are in my 300 win mag. It does a great job on elk for sure!
