[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1558415, member: 4809"] Getting back to the topic of bullet failure: Every bullet will fail at some point or in some situation. There simply is no one bullet that does it all. Bonded bullets will generally perform better than Bergers on shoulders at closer ranges, but they yield to Bergers on long range shots due to their lower BC's. There is always a trade-off. This topic was discussed several years back, but I thank reloaderlen for a reminder of what can happen. I shoot Berger in nearly all my LR rigs. If I know my shots will generally be under 400 yds., I use Barnes bullets with great terminal results. Based on the Berger failure discussion several years ago on this site, I bought a tool that uniforms and the lightly cones the inside of a hollow-point bullet (like Berger) to increase my confidence. If interested: google "bullet tipping die". Again reloaderlen, thanks for sharing your results with us. [/QUOTE]
