[QUOTE="Sod Farmer, post: 1791609, member: 112238"] I frequently hear about the 215g Berger being used as a hunting bullet. I think that the major difference between these bullets (aside from 5g) is the thickness of the jacket and a slightly different ogive. Am I correct in thinking that the 215g bullet would be a better bullet at closer ranges (higher velocity) because it would be less likely to fragment prematurely than the lighter jacketed 210g hunting VLD? Conversely, would the 210g hunting VLD would be more likely to be effective on game at longer distances (lower velocity)? It is not my intent to stir the pot on the reliability of Berger bullets. If you feel the urge to bash, please do it elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
