[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2077927, member: 61747"] I tend to wonder what your experience is with long range bullets in general, like the history design and differences. If you are expert and have the actual thickness measurements please share those and how they correspond to terminal performance. I don't mind debates but in the end target bullets and hunting bullets are pretty much the same thing with very little differences unless you get into core bonding. If you believe a target bullet by berger and hunting bullet by berger are vastly different, lets here it. Yes, there are some differences but we both know the hunting bullet is supposed to be sporting a slightly thinner jacket to help in fragmentation, their intended design, and target is supposed to hold up a bit better to abuse. My velocity at 660 is 2258 fps. Well beyond the normal expected 1800 fps, rule of thumb, and 600 to 800 fps faster than claimed hunting bullet expansion velocity. To further this, I shot that yote at 250 (2730 fps) behind the shoulder as one of the follow ups. Moving the discussion to ELD. ELD is target bullet and so is the A tip. I've hammered a lot of predators so far this winter with the A tip and a couple deer this past season and they did a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations. I've killed a pile of predators with the 147 and had amazing results. Both fur friendly and yet devastating terminal performance. I have never had berger anything overly impress me with terminal performance but I still try. The 140 vld hunting has been a huge disappointment in general. [/QUOTE]
