[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 728440, member: 8833"] It looks like some of us have never had a problem and some have seen/heard of this numerous times. When you have the same lot number where there is no problems along with having some problems it poses a real tough situation in trying to pin point what is causing the problem. With that said could the guys having seen this problem one or numerous times be doing anything in their bullet seating process with whatever they are using for a bullet seating die be closing the tip???? The tip being closed makes the most analytical sense to me at this point and that could be anything from coming straight from Berger that way, our bullet seating process, and even in the handling of said bullets be it in the reloading room or in a magazine that has been fired 'N" number of times. I will tell you that in long past I have used lead tipped bullets and after a 100 miles riding in a rifle scabbard on mule/horseback the tips would flatten out just being in the magazine. I'd just jack 'em out to use on the rifle range and put in a new batch. I have been a long time user of Berger's. With that said I was VERY skeptical in even trying them at the very beginning. After seeing about a dozen animals taken by my sons and analyzing the results at the gut piles I made the switch and will say I have had nothing but a positive experience since. We do try and buy our Bergers in lots of 1000 so we don't have that much experience with a whole lot of different lot numbers. I've been around a while and I will repeat what has been said by others: "I take my hat off to Berger and their response". I even decided I needed a Berger hat in my stocking so I ordered one yesterday. Never have advertised for a particular product unless a shirt/hat/coat was given to me. Although my initial thoughts on this were BS because we've never seen it happen personally, it may well be going on and I am thankful that this discussion is taking place. If a manufacturing process, handling or reloading is causing it I'd like to know so that we can avoid ever running into it. Again - thank you berger for your responses and more than anything your attitude in this matter. [/QUOTE]
