I was thinking the same thing when I found it.

Imagine the energy at 120 yards of .338 Lapua with a 300 grain bullet. If it was going to fail, that would be the time. So Ryan you've tested these Bergers from 120 to a mile and they've performed at both ends...?
That is a stud! Any idea what he scored?
I was just curious. I'm not really a trophy hunter, I've just never personally seen a buck that size and I've seen some that I thought were big. I wasn't trying to minimize him based on numbers.no problem asking but we don't score bucks like that, we just kill them. Over 29 wide, over 5" at the bases, and multiple points and probably pushing 300lbs pre-rut. We had him lab-aged, too- 6 years. Probably wouldn't get a lot bigger. Score just insults bucks like him. And the funny thing I've noticed is that even the hunters who are all-score-all-the-time still shoot bucks like this with no thought of score.
