[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 665101, member: 34818"] I have only killed one animal with a berger bullet. It was a javelina at 100 yards with a 25-06. It did the job about like any other bullet would. I have killed a ton of animals (mostly whitetail and mule deer) with the 100 gr barnes TSX out of a 25-06. I have never had anything that I have shot with that 100 gr Barnes bullet run off. I drew an antelope buck tag in New Mexico this year so I am going to be using the 115 gr berger with my 25-06. I will see how it works out on game. There are lots of guys on here that use Barnes bullets and lots that use Bergers. They both seem to do the job. Some just prefer one over the other. I am in the process of getting a custom 338 LM built (just waiting on the action). I will be using the 300 gr Berger OTM so hopefully it will work well. The OAL gauge is kind of handy to have so that you know how far you can seat your bullets out to. The wilson trimmer will save you a lot of time and will be very consistent on the trim length. What press do you have? Since you are starting out, dont just go off on a spending spree and buy anything and everything to try to help you get precision accuracy(unless you are just RICH!). A lot of people go and buy it all at once. They then find out that they spent way too much money and didn't really need all of it. Just buy as you find a need while you are shooting and reloading. If you feel like you need to buy something that will help you but are not sure, just put a post up here and a lot of people are very helpful and will tell you if it is crap or not. [/QUOTE]
