[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 1786177, member: 25389"] Another Berger fan here. I posted a question on their website and within 2 hours a Berger ballistician was ringing my phone to learn what I was trying to accomplish. I had bought a Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor youth rifle for the grandkids and needed bullet & load recommendations. He spent at least a half an hour relating personal experiences, discussing OAL, seat off the lands, etc. Long story short: he advised me to try the Berger Classic Hunter 135gr and a Berger 6.5mm 130 grain AR Hybrid OTM Tactical bullet, noting that the rifle magazine didn't lend itself to seating the VLD bullet line long enough to approach the lands. He noted a personal experience where the 135 grain Berger Classic Hunter shot exceptionally well in a 6.5 Creedmoor over H-4350 powder. Viola! 43 gr of H-4350 pushing the 135 gr Classic Hunter consistently produces single hole groups at 100 yards and this out of a $600 rifle!!! I've got thousands of dollars invested in rifles that can't match that accuracy. My sons are avid hunters and young enough with the means to do it.
