[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1205283, member: 30902"] Too inconsistent with respect to expansion/terminal ballistics. I don't like pencil holes and I don't like an exit wound over 2" in diameter, and unfortunately they have a tendency to all too frequently pencil straight through with zero expansion or blow a huge hole in the back side. I know a lot of guys, including quite a few I respect use them and swear by them but until I see much more consistency in the kind of expansion I consider to be necessary and desirable I just can't ride that train. The Hornady Interbond is my go to bullet when I can get them followed by the Nosler Accubond. I've also had very good results though limited with the Nosler Accubond LR, but like others have found their published BC's to be highly inflated which left a bad taste in my mouth. Manufacturers should stick with the truth when publishing BC's and when we're paying premium bullet prices they absolutely owe it to us to do the best that they can. On this point nobody works harder at getting it right than Berger. I have very limited but extremely positive experience with the Peregrine VRG-4 bullet as well. Based on the results I've seen so far I plan to shoot the Hornady ELD-X and Peregrin VRG-4's a lot over the next couple of years. [/QUOTE]
