[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 475911, member: 21068"] The Berger and the Barnes are totally different bullets really. IMO, one is designed for high weight retention, the other for terminal shock and better flight/accuracy. Personally, I wouldn't want to try a Berger on a close range point of shoulder shot (hitting heavy bone before the vitals). In contrast, I would be skeptical of a Barnes performance at extended or long ranges and hitting only the lungs/maybe a rib. They both serve their purpose, I've used them both. Have no complaints of either. Perhaps one of the Berger or Barnes guys could give you a better, more detailed discription of their product. I've not yet used the A-Max on game, but will soon be trying it. [/QUOTE]
