[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 2518892, member: 13632"] The issue with the label of "hunting or target" bullets is that it's pure marketing, there are bullet that are marketed both ways that are in the top class for hunting but one thing you will notice is no hunting bullets were in the top class in target shooting till Berger developed their thicker jacket line and used hunting and target designations to tell between them but in the end marketing is the deciding factor. Very little real testing goes into a hunting bullet, it's all about market positioning. I'm not entirely sure but I think Berger may be the only one that was basically told they have a top hunting bullet and need to get into that market by actual end users. Other than that you get a company telling you that x bullet is a hunting bullet which is pure propaganda, IMO no bullet should be trusted till YOU prove it to yourself in your equipment cause your going to have to live with the results. Took me two years with a two fist fulls of tags before I wouldn't hunt with a "hunting" bullet in the mag ready to cover for a "target" bullet, now days it's the other way around, by far my most trusted go to bullets are or were originally marketed as target bullets. Some of the worst hunting performance I've seen were bullets marketed as Hunting!! [/QUOTE]
