[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 485708, member: 10"] So the original "Hunting" bullets and current "Hunting" bullets are the same as the original "Match" bullets but the current "Match" bullets have heavier jackets......... WHAT THE HELL. If berger wanted to make a hunting bullet, why would they not build a tapered jacket to use for a hunting bullet that expended easily at any velocity down to say 1500 fps but had a heavy body jacket thickness that would support heavy impact resistance??? I was reading on the berger site where they say their bullets are designed to expand within 2-3" of impact and they are also designed to loose 40 to 85% of their original bullet weight. This Scrapnel is what causes severe damage. As advertised, this is exactly what Berger bullets do. The problem comes when you need more penetration then the Bergers are designed for which is pretty much any game larger then deer at conventional ranges. My point still stands, if you do not know how you will be hunting or what type of situation you will be in when you have to pull the trigger, the Accubond is a far superior, ALL AROUND bullet choice then any berger, match, hunting or hybrid design, does not matter, ESPECIALLY when talking about heavier game which is what this topic is about anyway, not lighter game.
