[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 641961, member: 42157"] I went with the Bergers because some very trusted long range target/hunting guys I know swear "The Bergers are the only bullets that consistently will hold the needed accuracy past 800yds". They also say the Berger is not the best bullet for on game performance, but the benefit for long range outweighs the negatives. Since I am going for 1000 or more yards...well I'm going with those who know. Noticed the same thing with my Berger 190 VLD's I was working up a load for. My OAL's were varying up to 4k, but most were 1-3K different. There is/was no way I am going to buy 500 bullets to find 100 to test, and then another 1000 to find enough to shoot. My cartridges have to fit in the magazine also, so for me it is as much about OAL as when the OGIVE engages the rifleing. These are hunting/practice rounds for me and I don't have the money to be able to sort out exactly matching bullets. If I get the accuracy I want with the bullets I want as they come out of the box then I use them. If not then I change bullets. For me it all comes down to what I can afford that gives me enough accuracy. For me the Bergers are no more accurate then Noslers at 100yds. Soon enough I will see how they are past 500. [/QUOTE]
