What testing does industry do?
The current Berger "hunting" bullets used to be Berger target bullets. The only change was hunters reporting good results with them. So Berger took those target bullets and changed the label to "hunting" This is according to Berger.
So Berger did zero testing of their bullets, with regard to hunting.
AGREE with This ^^^ Well,.. Said !
Personally I, had shied AWAY from using Berger's ( Read all, the "Bad Internet" opinions, BS ! ) .. UNTIL,. BignGreen convinced me to try them, AFTER having, a poor experience with, an AccuBond doing it's, "SLOW Kill, thing" ( Tiny, Mushroom ) on, an Elk !
Best advice on Hunting, Bullets that, I've ever got ! These lil' fudg'ers, Kill as good as, My .338 Win Mag,.. EVER,..did !
