[QUOTE="Broz, post: 697463, member: 7503"] I think it would be good to add this here. I feel it is good info for anyone no matter what bullet they choose. Since there has been a little Berger bashing and some of it has lead to saying they are "inconsistant", "blow up" and "pencil through" I think I know why some hunters may have had these results. First, I doubt anyone here would argue that Bergers are among the most accuarte bullet you could load. Now if there were something wrong or inconsistant with their construction, causing them to be inconsistant in game, I don't see how they could fly so accuratly to distances well past 1000 yards. Especially when you consider they are spinning 200,000 rpm's in some cases. So I think common sense would be to realize they are constructed very consistantly. How could they do all of these inconsistant and oposite things on impact? It is y belief that many times the tip of the bullets are damaged durring the seating process. I have seen it first hand. This can be from the bullet actually bottoming out in the seating plug closing the tip. Or also from a poor fitting seating plug with a different angle that applies force to a narrow band of the bullet near the tip. I have seen ammo that other people loaded with both of thes problems.
