[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 855476, member: 20657"] Bergers are also not "hunting" bullets even if they stamp hunting on some of their boxes now. People were using them for hunting long before hunting with target bullets was cool. When berger realized how well they worked for this they then dedicated a line of bullets for hunting. I've killed lots of stuff with plain old SMKs so the " hunting bullet " vs the "target bullet" argument is moot. Either the bullet works or it doesn't regardless of labeling. At the distances we are shooting game now nothing but a match grade target bullet will work, except for the accubonds. Which aren't labeled target bullets but seem to shoot like one. I hear a lot of what you are putting out from people who say "I've never used them but I don't think". I'm not interested in that. I want to hear yes I put the smack down on an elk with one and it worked just fine, or I shot an elk with one and it was a good shot and he packed it off so don't use this bullet. [/QUOTE]
