[QUOTE="bigbull, post: 1936378, member: 74097"] Not sure guys................................ In my experience target bullets have much thinner jackets. If the point one is trying to make is that the target bullets have thicker nose meplats to aid in controlling "Blow Ups" maybe this is so but they certainly do not have anything that resembles a controlled expanding hunting bullets tapered jacket, in fact maybe the taper at the nose of a tapered jacket is thinner than a match bullet but that is where the thicker jacket argument ends. The Hunting Bergers that I have sectioned only show the thinnest of jackets that represent common match bullet bullet design. In my opinion their only saving grace is that they are[B] "so long for weight"[/B] that this helps them get through a lot of tissue before they come apart, unless they hit good bone which then shows their true colors, they have no structural integrity and come apart or if the impact velocity is too high same same. Sorry but they seem to be closer to a match bullet than any "regular" hunting bullet that I know about. I would much prefer any controlled expansion or bonded bullet than the thin jacketed "Berger VLD Type" bullets even if they do not shoot as flat. JMHO BB [/QUOTE]
