[QUOTE="earl1704, post: 1136179, member: 8946"] I understand the intellectual pursuit of a better bullet but I am looking at a 400 yds maximum shot for my rifle and myself. I don't want to buy a coffee machine and then need to change the extension cord and heating element to get it to heat coffee. I expect a top quality (Berger) bullet to work as advertised without the need to rework it to get it to do what it is supposed to do already. If I were shooting 800 yds the extra details (meplat) would be addressed. However; Double checked my bullets Hunting VLD's Lot # 8233 Hollow points not pinched shut or clogged. Brian Litz's books Applied Ballistics and Accuracy and Precision call for checking the evidence, the evidence in this case does not bear out Bergers claims of a superior hunting bullet. If I shoot a bullet in Idaho but the bullet preforms/expands differently in Montana there is no way I can base a hunt on that. Maybe it will expand maybe it wont? Thanks for the input but after reading your reply's its time to look for a different hunting bullet. [/QUOTE]
