6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[TxLite]

This is the same type of performance I have seen from these bullets on quite a few elk and mule deer now. I know the 108 ELDM and 115 DTAC are perceived as the go-to 6mm bullet but I'm not convinced the 108 Berger Elite Hunter isn't just as good.. I love those things.

Nothing I saw over these 4 animals has made me want to switch. They seem to be great so far

Keep going, I need a good reason to go back to bergers on meat. They sure do shoot better.

That’s it for this trip unfortunately. 5 tags filled, 4 with my rifle, one with 105 Berger hybrids (also worked great). Hoping to use them on whitetail next month.

Another benefit to the 108 Elite Hunter is the Berger factory ammo is fantastic. High quality components (Lapua brass) and much tighter spreads than any of the Hornady loads I’ve ran through mine.

That’s what I did. Kept the brass and handloaded. The only reason I even bothered to load was to get the velocity bump with my short barrel (~250fps increase). The factory ammo shot fantastic
