[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 602393, member: 13632"] I've went rounds with a couple guys at Berger to try support the need for a 270 Berger bullet in the 160gr range, by their response I think snow ball would have a better chance on the sun than Berger making this bullet!The main point is that the most common twist rate for the 270 is 1-10 which no one seems to think will stabilize a 160 gr bullet, which it does and does it just fine, so I think it boils down to BR sex appeal and the 270 lacks it!!! The Matrix 165 and 175 are so close to what a Berger would be that I would think Berger would not want to go to the expense of tooling up a bullet in that class when there is already a good bullet available that they provide jackets for already. I don't know if I would like to see a bonded Berger or not, there are few bonded bullets out their with out some kind of tip to start expansion, the ones that I'm aware of that do not use a tip have a Meplat so large it turns the bullet into a little bit of a plow, killing any BC gain that one might achieve. I think all I would like to see is more of a move to the hybrid design in the hunting line, maybe a 338 250gr and a couple 375 cal bullets, one heavy for the Cheytac based cases and one light for the Norma and RUM cases.
