[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 485320, member: 10"] Has anyone actually proven that there is even a difference between the "Match" and "Hunting" bullets from Berger? When they first came out with the "Hunting" 180 gr 7mm I got some, sectioned them on the mill, measured jacket thickness, did some lead core hardness testing, measured OD dimensions and I could not tell ANY difference at all between the two of them except for possibly a slight difference in meplate diameter. That said, measuring lot to lot, I noticed the same difference on the match bullets alone so this did not make much difference. They may have changed since then but from what I could see, those first "Hunting" bullets were only different because they were in a different colored box that said "Hunting" instead of "Match". They also were listed with a lower BC but when shot, they appeared to have identical BC as the "Match" bullets were listed at....... From that point on I never put much stock in the fact that there was any difference at all between the two. Maybe things have changed since then. [/QUOTE]
