[QUOTE="jlvandersnick, post: 1442198, member: 40932"] I've been shooting bergers for almost twenty years. [B][U]The key is having enough twist.[/U][/B] On the 7mm RM....1 in 9 is minimum for the 180's. Faster is better I like 8.5. If you don't have fast enough twist and the bullet is not stable..... then that is where people get into trouble with the bergers. If that bullet starts to tumble then it won't open up like it is designed to do. I have a 7mm RM and shoot the 180 hunting VLDs. Killed pronghorn at 656 yds and 600 yds broadside. Exit holes the size of tennis balls. One ran about 10 yds the other did not take a step. Shot a third at 200 quartering towards me....dropped dead. [/QUOTE]
