Exactly!!

Same here! No two barrels are the same!

I always have to laugh when I hear that a bullet needs to exit.. Well I ain't shooting a bow so I don't want an exit hole. Berger bullets are awesome on North American Big Game period. I have killed everything from coyotes to large bears with them and they just plain work. If you put a bullet...

Yes this is a thread on long range bullets up close but I said Berger bullets will kill at both long and close ranges. #1 why not shoot the shoulder? Common sense. Behind the shoulder is the best place to hit any animal to put it down quickly whether a high shoulder or low shoulder the bullet...

Use the Berger Hybrids and just shoot behind the shoulder close or far they will do the job. Berger bullets are designed to penetrate a few inches and then open destroying the internal organs. Practice and good marksmanship is the key. I started using a custom built 25X284 and I shoot 133 gr...

I haven't used the Hammer bullets but we have killed 2 bulls and 2 cows in camp the last 2 years with the 6.5 CM with 140 gr Berger VLD's and 147 gr Hornady ELDM's from 200-635 yards the longest being a heavy 6x6. The Creed will do the job just place your shot DRT!

I love my 25x284 26 in Krieger bbl ruger action. 3150 fps with 131gr BlackJack Aces or 133gr Berger VLD's. Good for anything from Antelope to Moose.

Federal has nothing on their website... Federal has nothing on it's website???

They say the 6.5x300 Weatherby is only getting 400 rounds before needing re-barreled and it's way slower then that. I was looking at that round until I read that.

Just curious.. How many shot's before your barrel is shot out??

If you If don't mind changing barrels consistently..

Coyotes are easy to put down. I personally use a .223 AI with a stiff load of Varget and Hornady 55gr V-Max. That combo kills coyotes extremely well.

As far as opening Berger bullets will do a lot of damage at 1600 fps. We have done testing on ballistic gel down to 1000 fps and they generally still open down that low. Like I said above, that shot isn't for everyone. Most people don't even shoot past 500 yards and call it long range. That's...

Good choice, I have been shooting lot's of 140 ELD-M's since Berger's are getting scarce. They perform very well.
