Okay gentelmen I need a no BS objective look based on practical application. I can't get ammo from work due to stuff, so I've got to buy my own ammo now. I've ordered HSM trophy Berger .300 WM 185 grain. I've also used and killed deer with barns X, my newest order is the new barns 190 grain LR ammo. I've read tons of stuff on line about Berger being a tac driving long range off the shelf bullet. With that being said some folks are saying its not a general purpose hunting round, in other words doesn't work well on the shoulder of an elk. With that being said I've also read that this bullet is a deer slaying machine out to 700 yards easy. Don't know what to think at this point so I leaning on you guys. Most of my research has pointed me to Berger bullets are perfect when making a clean vital shot (nuff said there right) but sometimes you/we may get given a solid shoulder shot in which case my research says they don't do so well on big game. Don't know never hunted with them, I have however hunted with the barns TSX solid copper core and they have done well. I would appreciate some constructive input. Thanks in advance
