[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 572672, member: 27328"] Before you settle on a Berger, try a Hornady A-Max of a similar weight. The A-Max is a superior design for hunting, even though Hornady does not advertise it as such. The A-Max has both less chance of blowup at close range and less chance of pinholing at long range. The reason is the plastic tip that better initiates expansion at low velocity and the tougher jacket that better resists blowup at close range. Hornady knows MUCH more than Berger about hunting bullets and has been doing hunting bullets for decades. If Berger put all they knew about hunting bullets in a thimble, it would be like throwing a BB into a boxcar compared to what Hornady knows. You should be able to come up with some ballistic media to test both bullets in your rifle and caliber. I know that at 7mm the A-Max is superior to the Berger, and at a much lower cost. [/QUOTE]
