[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 797894, member: 13311"] I have great respect for a company spending great amounts of money on R&D and even marketing to provide a quality product to comsumers. I use Nosler, Sierra, Hornady, Speer and even Barnes in given rifles. However, I use Berger exclusively for for long range. I use all thes bullets based on my known usage and performance, not on marketing, and definately not because someone uses them in their $7000 factory rifle package on TV and screams like a schoolgirl every time they make a shot. I don't mean this as a personal attack on the BOTW crew. I think the TV producers, whoever they might be, are producing shows for the uninformed and gullible gun crazy public. Example, my opinion (I know..2 cents worth) American Guns = fake boobs, inflated gun values and unrealistic explosions from bullet impact, Sons of Guns = soap opera with guns and more unrealistic explosions, Personal Defense TV= how old guys and women with limited gun knowledge can become tactical experts, Best of the West= use my gear and never miss again. Most of us are simply not in the focus group any more, and for good reason. A show about advanced ballistics and wind compensation would be educational, however, quite "mathy" and dull. As a final note, if Berger didn't have it right, why do all the other mfgs now have similar products, even Barnes. I am going to try some of these other lines and hope to find success at a better price point, but until performance is proven over time and various situations, I will continue to use Berger for extended range.
