Awesome pics Broz, I really like how you start em off with the close up head shot of the yote 
If you ever run out of freezer room for the elk meat you can send some down south ??? You must live in a hunters paradise ! Our white tail doesnt taste nothing like Elk or mule deer.
Awesome pics the whole thread !!

A couple does that took a 140 Berger, between 500 and 600 yards.
Whacked with a 60gr Berger from a 22-250 at 300+ yards, he was lying there then just straightened out for some reasongun)
Doe took a 60gr bullet at the point of shoulder at 200 yards, blew the center to goo after blowing through the shoulder.
Another 60gr Berger kill at 500+ yards.
My first Berger kill, .277 140 Berger to the heart.

wow bingreen, Im suprised at the success of the 22-250. They're not legal for big game up here, I always thought the bullets would just bounce off! (Broz Im joking, just to clarify).
Kinda neat to see fragmenting bullets work on big game out of small calibers. I was thinking about using my .243 with 95's this year for some whitetale, but thought that It wouldnt be a good idea with the bergers... looks like I was wrong.

Angus, the 60gr Berger is starting out at 3500fps and we have only had a couple not exit but the vitals were just mush. The one doe was at 506 yards and it exited with about a 2 in hole nothing but lungs but it smoked her. My buddies killed a bunch of whitetail with it also, works awesome!!
Another friend shoots a 243 and the 105's, he's piled up deer like crazy and never had one not exit, he's killed one bull at 100 yards, blew through one shoulder and destroyed the spine and ended up under the of side, the other bull was 500 ish and took two to the chest and end of story.

Thank you C.O. Shooter, I feel I have tested the Bergers pretty darn well on many types of game and many distances from close to far. I can honestly say I have never tracked an animal I shot with a Berger. I can not say that about all bullets. But the odds are I will have something go wrong sooner or later, that will happen with any bullet if you use it enough. It just has not happened with the Bergers for me. I have a feeling that when and if it does it will be more shooter error and shot placement than bullet performance. As this is usually the case, whether it is admitted or not.

Come on now. We need to know. Was it 487 or was it 478?
Your final answer --- ?
Len, it does not matter if you use "Load Base 3.0", it corrects for dyslexia.
Sorry Eaglet, I could not resist...

In finance, 378 to 387 is *just* a simple transposition error - not a big deal. However, in ALL things related to salary and just how long that shot *really* was, transposition is not simple at all!!!
Broz, you nailed it on the head - no one wants to accept culpability for errors they are party to except those very few who are inclined toward integrity (and accept their human capacity for error).
