[QUOTE="mikebob, post: 455081, member: 6041"] I have shot Barnes, Accubonds and about every other bullet out there. I think if you shoot enough you will have a miss-hap with all bullets. I shoot Bergers in most of my rifles now. I have never had a problem with them yet at close or far range. I have watched Bergers and Scirroccos tested against cow bones at 15yrds and 700yrds on How to Shoot Beyond Belief. They tested as good if not better. I think the people having trouble with them are shooting shots they shouldn't be making in the first place If you shoot any bullet other than what is was designed for you are going to have problems. If you don't have good shot placement you are going to have problems with any bullet I just watched Long Range Pursuits take an elk at 925yrds with a 6.5x284 140gr VLD Berger Watched Best Of The West take just about every game animal including dangerous game in Africa with 168 and 180gr Berger VLD I shot a boar in the shoulder 2yrs ago at 10 yards with my 300 Mag using a 210gr VLD @ 2850fp/s. It put a quarter size hole going in and a half dollar size hole exiting. I meant to shoot it behind the shoulder but I got to carried away and pulled it. (really I just got nervous because it was getting so close with those tusks and I didn't have a tree to climb into) Pick a bullet you are confident in that will do the job and forget what anyone else says about it. Not any one bullet will make everyone happy with its performance. There are many great bullets on the market today and we need to shoot them all so we can keep manufactures producing them. [/QUOTE]
