[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 418409, member: 13833"] Hi guys! I haven't been on for a while but I'm glad to see that bullets are still a hot topic. The original Berger target bullet has the THIN jacket and is the same identical bullet as the now HUNTING bullet. (I know this for a fact because I asked the folks at Berger).

The Sierras are often used for long range hunting because they are accurate and have a fairly high B.C. but they do not expand at as low a velocity as the Bergers. The Bergers will usually penetrate a few inches and then grenade which often causes rapid death.
