[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 696204, member: 13833"] Jeff....I appreciate your posts and have not questioned your results, and still don't. I simply post what I see and people can draw there own conclusions. I have posted a lot more good about Berger bullets than bad, but as I have stated in the past, there is no such thing as a perfect bullet from 1-4000'/sec. on mice to moose, including my own. I just prefer to test before I shoot something rather than after and then see why it didn't work. I made a big mistake last year that I don't want to repeat! The bulge in the boat tail was a result of the manufacturer sending me a .3085" boat tail punch instead of a .308", so that is no longer a problem. Actually, I am surprised that they shot as well as they did. Anyway, I respect Bill Stigers and spent quite a bit of time picking his brain when I started making bullets. Granted, he wasn't making long range stuff like I am, but he did know something about bullets and the water testing was one thing that he told me. It sounded goofy to me at the time, but I've learned to listen to some of these old timers! I would encourage you, and others, to keep testing. We can probably all learn something:D...rich [/QUOTE]
