Free: Contests & Raffles.
I was wondering too. Every time I looked at the Recent Topics...there it was again, and again, and again, each with a different time stamp.I've used them and it's been my experience that most barrels like them, however some don't. I've got one old, old 300 Wby., and a Colt Sauer that both shoot the 210 match VLD's better than anything except the original (no longer made) Barnes X. HOWEVER, I haven't found a Berger bullet/load combo yet for my Dad's 7mm that will shoot any better than the (much cheaper) Sierra's that his barrel likes. For most folks it would never make any difference, but he likes to do a lot of shooting, and so cost becomes a factor.I do a lot of experimenting, and I alway go with the most accurate/fast, bullet/load combo. If the bullets misses....it really doesn't matter what it was!
I thought Berger was coming out with a 338 bullet. I did not see that on their site. Has anyone heard anything?
It has been my experience with the Bergers that you need to not get frustrated with a less than great group at a 100 yards....shoot them at 200 or 300 and see what happens!Seems like they take a little bit longer to stabilize,maybe its just my rifle but at a 100 yards they dont do anything that my hornadys wont...but at 200-1,000 yards...look out.You do need to have a long action to best utilize the Bergers for sure or else you might as well buy a single shot rifle.
in the past i have always used bullets that had more weight retention. would using these bullets do just fine on black bear if you hit shoulder bones and what not, out of a .270 140 gr.i know these bullets are super fast and accurate just want to make sure they are good for bears ans maybe elk for future.thanks for the feed back everyone
Been waiting to hear some news on the 338 bullet. There was another post on here i think it was 338 long range and it had all the info and a link to it.
