[QUOTE="Blwebster, post: 1255443, member: 82312"] Over the past several years, many hunters where I live have claimed to have stopped using Berger bullets for hunting big game as well as coyotes and wolves. (no idea as to which ones however) Most of them claim Berger has made the bullets too stout over the last few years - enough so now there is the pencilling through even a large wolf. From what I have learned from others who called Berger about this, some people had experienced issues with bullet blowups using fast twist barrels and were pursuing very high velocities, so that might be a legitimate reason, but am just saying what I heard from others who kill a lot of coyotes in particular. I shoot my limits of wolves annually and have never had an issue using 155, and 168 grain Hornady A-Max bullets in my .308. In my 7mm Remington Magnum I use the 162 grain A-Max and likewise, have been extremely pleased with the results. Perhaps people should be contacting Berger themselves to complain so as to let them know that not everyone is strictly after paper punching and require a step back to a more frangible bullet for some calibers.
