Berger Bullets

They seem to be made very well with tight tolerances; I also know someone who uses them with great results.  Just wanted to ask those here who have tried them what you think of them, and how they turned out for you.

........I have used them in mainly fun and paper punching shooting ....in the 22cal 52fbhp........plain and molly coated.....they have been the most accurate bullet in 4 out of 5 guns that I tried.....the one that didn't use berger for the best load liked Hornady 55 V-Max and I may not have found the right combo of powder and seating depth for the Bergers to do better.....I used them for several years before the switch in managment recently and the ones I got since the change have been just as good as the older ones......very consistant in weight and concentricity and the coated ones are evenly coated and finished........the 6mm are also good according to a friend who uses that caliber for paper......hth..good luck and good shooting-loading!!

bigdaddytacp,

Thanks for your quick reply.  I was waiting to see if anyone else would also voice their opinions or experiences with them.  What kind of groups were you getting?  As a matter of fact, I've got a box of 52 grainers on the way to try in my 223 WSSM.  I orginally wanted 55gr, but they weren't in stock.  If these don't go all that well, I will probably move to 60gr. or heavier.  My rifle has a 1:10" twist rate.  :|    

To everybody else:  Please feel free to post your experiences or opinions about these bullets.  I'm interested in hearing more about them, if possible.

Thanks in advance.

 :D

Depends on whether or not your rifle likes them.  I've had good results with them in the past in my 17 Mach IV (25 gr.) and .22-250 (52 gr.) cartridge.  It comes down to load development.  Definitely give them a try.  I'm having a 6 BR built right now and it will be throated for the 105 Berger VLD.
