[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1779922, member: 19988"] Well I got a 300 WM I used to shoot 180 - 195 grain Berger’s. Never shot 215 from it so can’t talk about it. Got a 7 Mag that I load 168 grain Berger’s and never touched my 300 WM sense. Then I built a 260 Rem in 1997. I load 140 grain Berger VLDs for it. I shoot it 99% of the time. Prairie dogs to elk. I’m not going hungry. Taking a 290 # hog at 997 yards with my 260 Rem. Bullet did not exit but it did break the shoulder. Even at that distance. I’ve just never had a problem with Berger’s. Shot the Hornady 140s in my 260 and some 105s in a 243. They both did good. Both very accurate. It’s just the Berger’s kill better. Just my experience. It seams that the tip on the Hornady bullets make them expand faster than the Berger’s. The Berger’s seams to penetrate more. Just my experience though. Just shoot what your gun likes. [/QUOTE]
