[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1600468, member: 27307"] There's always a lot of potential to be wrong when trying to outguess a manufacturer but in this situation I think what's happening is called re-design. Berger released a bullet which, unfortunately, was not ready for or suited to the then current market. Sierra's entry was better (subjectively) so why would Berger release something not up to par? Better, in my opinion, to go back to the drawing board and testing tunnel to perfect the product which they will be proud to release. This process as we all know from past experience could be a slightly long ordeal depending on how enthused the design team really is. I also think that the 'heavy for caliber' train has left the station and is off for other opportunities. While it's nice to have the selection of bullets and to be able to utilize larger capacity cases with heavier for caliber bullets, it is not an end all solution for the vast majority of us. It's a small niche. We know that the current trend is back to the biggest slice of the pie getting the most attention. Plus, Berger has been battling lack of product in the supply chain. The impact from them missing supply deadlines is significant as is seen in the comments made by shooters. They are busy mending relationships and making bullets as fast as they can get the supply up so I figure that they have their hands full, especially with a new(er) owner at the helm. [/QUOTE]
