[QUOTE="ArtsMonkey, post: 1026673, member: 31378"] This is what Kirby says about Berger : [COLOR=#1F497D][FONT="] [/FONT][/COLOR]The 300 gr SMK has a very long track record in the field and I have yet to see one that came apart outside 200 yards. They may shed 1/2 their weight but so will the berger. BC for the SMK generally runs closer to .780-.790 at the velocity you will be driving them to. At times I have had to use .800 BC to get the drop chart to match up with trajectory. The berger will run .82 to .83 most of the time. Have not shot ALOT of the Noslers but from what I have shot, they seem to be close to the listed BC. our rifle is throated currently for the Accubond/SMK but the Bergers can be used as well but may not be able to seat them to the lands and still have them fit in the mag box. Generally, with my tight throats, this does not effect accuracy poorly. The berger needs a different throat then the SMK or Accubond. It can be used in your throat length but when seated to just off the lands, it will be to long to fit in your magazine so seated to the lands you would need to use them as single shots. The rifle is set up currently for the 300 gr Accubond or 300 gr SMK, either work great in similar throat lengths so just let me know which you want. [/QUOTE]
