[QUOTE="hh4whiskey, post: 900691, member: 75372"] :D well, mostly I was twisting tails on this board full of Berger-lovers. It's different theories, is all. If I hunted the west, regularly, I would probably change some details. I have not used the LRAB/ABLR stuff, yet. However, I do use certain nosler ballistic tips for hunting the southern states, through TX. My terrain and hunting styles dictate different considerations.
