[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1896041, member: 93895"] Hey Bill, glad you posted. Berger's used to be controversial here on this site several years ago and are now widely accepted for the most part for long range hunting. They expand rapidly, and at long distance that can work out really well when the bullet has slowed down and she'd a bit of energy. When they are heavy for caliber, I kinda look at them like an upscaled varmit bullet, for huge varmits. Long range on game shots are where they have gained popularity vs some of the traditional bullets may not expand enough at long distance. And there are people who will still debate this topic. I do still believe that a shoulder shot that ends up dead on the ball socket can be a toss up with a rapid expanding bullet if the bullet is not of enough caliber size & heavy enough grain weight. There are plenty of people who will counter that statement that I just made, nevertheless my mind is made up. I will believe what I have saw and they can believe what they would like. I won't debate it. My bullets of choice for long range are Eldm, a-tip & Berger. I have tree stand rifles for shots within 200 yards that shoot Speer btsp, Barnes ttsx, federal fusions & core lokts.
