[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1665538, member: 109862"] Lots of interesting food for thought and feedback here, I’ve learned a few things and/or heard viewpoints I hadn’t before. I do notice however that we are not discussing the subject of this thread at all anymore, which is the experiences with and behaviour of non-berger otm/bthp bullets when used for hunting, notably the hornady bthp match, the lapua scenar, the Sierra matchking, the nosler rdf, and as some have referenced earlier the nosler custom competition would fall into this category, as would the Barnes match burner, speer bthp match, and no doubt several others. Lots of talk about the effectiveness of bergers, which i appreciate and feel helps reinforce their status as the yardstick against which we measure the terminal effectiveness of other projectiles of comparable design, BUT right in the first sentence of my original post I affirmed my understanding of bergers being established as proven hunting bullets, that wasn’t in question. No criticism or anything, I myself participated in conversation about bergers, about monometals, softpoints, tipped bullets, bonded bullets, pretty much everything besides the otm/hpbt bullets I was asking about (as I have some experience with the other conventional hunting bullets but not with these) and have found the conversation informative and productive, but I’d like to reset this talk to the original inquiry and redirect things back to experiences, opinions, and even theories about these “non-berger hpbt bullets”.
