    Berger Bullets News from the President

    I'll thank Corey for responding to your question on twist rate. Our technical support guys are hard at work doing all they can to help. Regarding the availability of the 6mm 87 gr Hunting bullets, I expect these to be shipping by August (maybe sooner). We will get everyone caught up on...

    I like where your head is but until we get things caught back up again we won't be making anything new with the exception of a bullet that has been ready to go for a long time. It is not a 338 cal though. Regards, Eric

    Berger 375 possible?

    ALCON, It is most important that everyone is clear that this bullet is completely experimental. We have no plans to make it part of our line at any known time. There is a high probability that it will never be available. Any suggestion or speculation that this bullet is "coming" is false...

    We are making the 22 cal jackets for the longer, heavier bullets now. I'd expect these to be available again and from then on by the end of July at the latest. Regards, Eric

    Berger Bullets News from the President

    I have experienced significant hardship by making too many shooters angry with early announcements on specific bullets we are developing. I won't go down that road again. So, you aren't going to hear about the specific bullets we are working on until they are developed, tested and in stock...

    The 105 gr VLD Target will be next. We will be making these following the 105 gr Hybrid Target. I'm in my living room so I don't have access to the schedule but off the top of my head I would expect them to be shipping before the end of June. The 105 gr VLD Hunting bullets will be made...

    Based on where our largest 6mm tops out I'd say that you'd have to part the waters, turn them into wine and then walk on them. Bryan is the best person to say if a .600 averaged G1 is impossible to reach with a 22 cal bullet but my less informed guess is that you won't see one unless we figure...

    This is unacceptable and way outside our tolerance. Can you give me the lot number of the bullets to which you are referring? How many of these bullets do you have? If what you are saying is accurate we will send you 1,000 of the same bullets at no charge. To be clear, I am not...

    The 30 cal 230 gr that is currently in stock in our OTM Tactical bullet. This bullet has a shorter nose and lower BC than the Hybrid Target version. The bullet that was asked about is our 230 gr Hybrid Target. This verison of the 230 gr has a longer nose and a higher BC. Both are good...

    .755 averaged G1 is the best we are going to be able to get for some time. The 195 gr EOL bullet is the highest BC 7mm bullet available. To get to .800 will be a new mouse trap rather than a better one. Regards, Eric

    Berger Bullets News from the President

    We are going to stay focused on getting caught up before we launch many new bullets. There is one that will be launched soon but it has been done and ready to go for some time. To make the 30 call EOL we will need new tooling and a longer jacket than we've made before. This will take longer...

    Berger Bullets News from the President

    This is one of our most popular bullets. It will remain part of our line. We have many more bullets in stock now than we've had over the last 3-4 years. There are other bullets that will be on the shelf soon. This announcement is not to say that all bullets are in stock but rather to say...

    Berger Bullets News from the President

    Right now we are focusing our increased output capability on making the bullets that are already in our line. Being a brand that shooters can depend on to have products is a top priority. We have a number of new bullets in our plans but I am keeping the specifics quiet until they are on the...
