[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1478135, member: 30902"] I just don't like the tendency of the Berger's to break up nor their inconsistency with respect to opening. There's nothing resembling consistent controlled expansion with a Berger. My experience with the Barnes along with a lot of animals I've seen and had to track for others shot with Barnes show that they tend to lose their petals doing little damage and the rest punches a very small hole all the way through. This results in slow blood loss and is aggravated by the small entry and exit that prevent any significant bleeding out often until after they have run quite a ways. For conventional bullets I prefer the Hornady Interbond, Nosler Accubond, and Accbond LR. Since about 2015 I've shot Peregrine VLR's almost exclusively and they have outperformed all of the other bullets I've ever shot period. I know exactly what terminal performance I'll get every time I pull the trigger and that for me at least is invaluable. One thing I really like about them is that for every tipped hunting bullet they produce they also produce an identical target bullet that is much, much cheaper to produce and sell. Now for high volume target and varmint shooting I generally just buy Prime Ammunition in .260 Rem and save the brass. I have yet to find a more accurate load for any of my three .260's and while they don't produce it with a good hunting bullet, i don't care much what I shoot at coyotes and trash as long as it's accurate.
