[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1732304, member: 69478"] Berger bullets are some of the most consistent, accurate, high BC bullets, and also have a wide variety of options. They’re like custom bullets but widespread on the market. I never use to shoot them and have always just shot Hornady bullets. Mainly because Hornady bullets were cheaper, they had never failed me, and I have always liked their designs and bullet options. I just recently switched to Berger’s in my .284 and from the get go they shot awesome. It took me just 15 rounds to find a load with a new powder, new bullet, and relatively new cartridge to me that shot 3/8 MOA and better with extreme spreads under 20. Previous to this, I experimented with the 180gr Hornady ELD for nearly 100 shots until giving up on it. There’s a lot of good bullets out there, but Berger’s are just a solid go to for nearly every cartridge. They just shoot and are always consistent. Sierra bullets are also excellent and just as consistent and are starting to bring out some serious long range bullets as of late. I use to think Berger’s were all hype until I started paying attention and learned from some very serious shooters and reloaders just how much better they can be than the competition. They also were easy to get shooting in my rifle and I look forward to using them in others. I do believe there’s better options for hunting short ranges under 200 yards and for heavy dangerous game. I would choose a Swift bullet for Grizzlies over a Berger. But I would choose a Berger over a Swift if watching over a field and hunting deer with shots beyond 300 yards. It’s important to pick the right bullet for the job. If you just want to test the accuracy potential of your rifle, then shoot a Berger or Sierra. For long range hunting Berger and Hornady are my top picks. For competition shooting, Berger and Sierra are at the top along with a few custom bullet makers. For general hunting at shorter ranges, pick whatever you want or what fits your style. For thick skinned and dangerous game, pick a heavy duty bullet like the Swift, Accubond, Partition, Interbond, etc. [/QUOTE]
