[QUOTE="esorensen, post: 2672442, member: 4302"] I have never had an experience like the OP. I do use Berger’s and have shot tons of them. The outside temps are not going to be a determining factor in my opinion. The heating of the jacket as it is forced down the bore ought to negate any ambient effect if there is one. I’ve had great luck with the 180 Bergers and JLK’s, as well as the 175 ELDX. Moving to the 195 EOL next. I have tested the old VLD bullets that were “tipped” meaning they were put in a die and the tips uniformed and closed. They did worse terminally. Opening the tip does help. My vote for the failures would be a bad batch of jackets and closed tips before ambient temp changes. [/QUOTE]
