[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2518199, member: 313"] There is clearly no defined line between "target" bullets and "hunting" bullets. Berger bullets that are now sold as "hunting" bullets were formally sold as "match" bullets. Their newer "match" bullets (generally) have thicker jackets which weren't used back then. In an early edition of the Hornady reloading manual it specifically states that their A-Max "target" bullets were considered good hunting bullets when used on thin skinned biggame animals. I shot a truckload of whitetails with their 162gr A-Max bullet launched from a custom 7STW. Either on the shoulder or behind the shoulder, it was lights out! [/QUOTE]
