[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 551983, member: 22600"] There is no difference in outside dimensions between the hunting and target bullets. However, there is a significant enough difference in the thickness of the jackets that Berger does not recommend the target bullets for hunting. The jacket walls on target bullets are thicker and therefore do not provide reliable expansion. If you were hunting with the target bullets or "Yellow Box" bullets it could explain why you were not getting the anticipated expansion while hunting. That being said, if you were getting good accuracy and velocity results with target bullets, then a simple switch could be made and you should find similar accuracy results with hunting bullets(Orange box).
