Barnes's Tests Prove Why Berger Hunting VLDs Are So Successful By Eric Stecker

[guns_and_labs]

Does bullet pointing (like Whidden) or meplat trimming change the penetration/expansion characteristics of the Berger hunting bullets? Is it worth it in terms of BC consistency and improvement?

I can attest that pointing does help the BC and uniformity.
I don't know if it affects terminal performance. Until the tests are done, I wouldn't recommend pointing bullets intended for hunting. It may prevent the bullets from expanding as well.

That's what I was afraid of. I'll hold off.

So, when are the tests planned?
