[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2533513, member: 87243"] While I like the Bergers and have killed a couple elk with that bullet at extended ranges with great results, with a 600 yd max and likely closer than that on elk, especially in the 6.5 cal I would go for the hammer myself. Our elk shots have averaged around 750 for a while, ranging from 500ish to a little over 1000, that is where the high bc really comes into play. Sub 600 though, it's not near as relevant, and the hammers will penetrate better with the higher impact velocities of those ranges, and shouldn't have an issue if you hit the large shoulder bone joint. I haven't shot an elk less than around 650 with a Berger that I can recall, so I can't speak for higher velocity heavy bone impacts with them. [/QUOTE]
