I think my experiences earlier in this thread (few pages back) validate your findings on the lack of Berger VLD performance at close range. It makes perfect sense that the Berger VLD jacket construction on these bullets would enable them to perform exceedingly well at long range (lower...

I have historically hunted deer with the Barnes Tsx, and have loved everything except slightly excessive copper fouling. They group great if seated .15 thousands off the lands, and they stop deer like lightning. The hydrostatic shock effect is key in dropping the deer. This year I decided to...

Hi fellow shooters, I wanted to share some info on a great new shooting school in Northwest Arkansas. I attended their Long Range Precision class a few weeks ago, and it was amazing. They have the most beautiful range located in the hills by Huntsville, AR., with distances From 400 out...

I realize that it has been years since this post was made, but I came across an interesting discovery this weekend, so I thought I would share. I was shooting at a long range course, 1,000+ yards shooting both .308 as well as .338 lapua. I had shot over 100 of my .308 rounds, loaded 175...

Enter Me In The Berger Bullets Contest

Thanks for taking the time to post your results. I too will really like to see how these bullets expand on game. I just bought 200 of them for the .338, and then I discovered that the jackets are thicker on the hybrid tactical bullets, and technically they're not for hunting use. Ganted, the...

1,000 yards that close to Fayetteville sounds fantastic. Please let me know the next time people get together to shoot. Thanks.

I live in the Northwest Arkansas area, and unfortunately I can't find any good places to shoot at great distance. Fortunately, my .338 Lapua is set to arrive this week, but unfortunately I only have a 100 yard range at my disposal. If I drive 1.5 hours to Fort Smith there is a 300 yard range...

So you were one of the few lucky folks to draw an AR tag this year. Congratulations! I submitted, but alas i wasn't drawn. How many years have you submitted for the drawing? I'm hoping to get lucky this year, and unleash the .338 lapua.

I know what you mean... I've struggled with this as well. I live in NWA, and 100 yards is all we have... at Hobbs. I have been considering joining the Old Fort Gun Club, in Fort Smith, as they at least have a 300 yard target. The only downside is that it's 1 1/2 hours away from me. I hope...
