[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 829535, member: 10291"] While not currently listed on their web site, JLK has produced a 142 gr VLD that has a BC of .640 compared to .612 for the Berger. I have shot both in my Cooper 520. The higher BC of the JLK appears valid because I need about 20FPS more velocity in the Berger to get the same POI at 1000 yards. Performance on game between the two is indistinguishable. I've had a batch of these JLK's that that I acquired a few years ag that I shoot very sparingly, and I have used exclusively for my hunting loads. At 2970FPS using Retumbo they will group under an inch at 500 yards in my 1:8 twist Cooper. It's absolutely deadly at 1000 yards if I get the conditions right. [/QUOTE]
