[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1287847, member: 4191"] Was the point of your post to express the position that since Berger doesn't market their 215 Hybrid and 230 OTM .308 caliber bullets as "Hunting" bullets, that Berger has no obligation to inform/educate their hunter customers about the closed jacket tips, and the handicap those closed tips pose for hunters dependent upon bullet expansion for the humane harvest of large game? If so, then I should clarify that the bullets Berger manufactures and markets for "Hunting" also include a percentage with closed jacket tips. The closed tips appear across the Berger line of bullets, whether they're marketed as Target, Hunting, Hybrid, or OTM. It's a by-product of their manufacturing process. Berger knows that their 215 hybrid and 230 OTM .308 bullets are being successfully used by elk hunters, and that these two "non-Hunting" bullets have earned the reputation on this Forum as being more reliable and effective large game hunting bullets than any of their other .308 "hunting" bullets. Which brings me back to: "[I]We recommend that customers using our bullets for hunting check to ensure that the tip of each bullet has a visible opening within the center of the jacket material to help ensure bullet expansion.[/I]" Berger advocates customer education on the use of their bullets. Where's the product support for the hunting customer, in the effort to help ensure customer satisfaction? [/QUOTE]
