[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1723450, member: 34818"] I have tested the Federals version of a longrange bullet quite a bit. Using the 7mm 155 Gr Edge TLR in my 7mm Sherman MAX. As far as the bullet goes, the base to ogive measurements are not consistent at all and can be off by quite a bit. Making seating consistency quite difficult and I would think decreasing accuracy. I have shot these bullets at 100, 300, 500, 600 and 1000 yards. I have found that the bullet is not that consistent at 1000 yards at all. Accuracy was really good at closer ranges but once getting to 1000, the accuracy really fell off...a cliff. I’m thinking federals idea of LR and Berger’s idea of LR are very different. I’d say that the bullet construction is going to be very good on game at 600 yards and under. I will get two chances to check that out on elk this year but after that, I will be going back to Berger bullets. [/QUOTE]
