[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 689211, member: 313"] "Anyway, I would think they'd peel back the merchandising a bit and designate their line with more important information, like 'HJ' if it's heavy jacket." Actually, when Berger started making match bullets with thicker jackets they just called them "thick". The stock number had such a designation at the time. Many shooters eventually realized that the regular match bullets (not the thick version) gave excellent terminal performance on the game they were hunting. The "thick" version does not expand in soft skin game animals in a way that Berger would recommend for that purpose. Hunting bullets (thin version) now come in the orange box and are the original target bullets. Target bullets are the (newer) thick version and come in the original yellow box. Some regular shooters of Berger bullets claim that they virtually shoot the same, however, terminal performance on game is much different. [/QUOTE]
