[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 971357, member: 4809"] I have shot both Berger and Matrix in several calibers with excellent results. Because of its' smaller size, Matrix has the ability to be much more responsive to shooter's needs (IMO). I have had extensive dealings with Marshall at Matrix. He has bent over backwards to work with me on my particular bullet needs. Likewise, Berger has great customer service - they just can't move a quick or cater to smaller demand groups like Matrix can. For example, Matrix has 2 or 3 heavier offerings in the .264 VLD class of bullets than what is shown on their web site. The same can be said in their .277 class of bullets. Berger and Matrix - two great companies. Berger can produce more mainstream VLD bullets at a less expensive price point than Matrix. On the other hand, Berger won't make a 264. calber VLD in 165 grains because there isn't enough demand for it. Matrix has that bullet and sells it! That bullet would do wonders in a 6.5 SAUM. You will pay a little more, but it is more than worth it to wring the maximum potential out my rifles. I shoot a 277 Allen Magnum. That is a 338 Lapua case that has been 'improved' and necked down to .277. The best Berger can offer me is 150 grain VLD. Matrix has a 170 gr. VLD and is working to make others workable in my gun. I cannot say enough good about Matrix. Now if I could just convince them to move stateside..... :-) [/QUOTE]
