RH....

I hear they are AWESOME hunting bullets. I plan to use to use the same in my RUM this year.
What are you hunting-deer-elk-moose? What powder/grains are you using? I have a cow moose draw.
My next set of days off are going to see a lot of lead going down range!

Later....

The Berger bullets can be a bit finicky to get to shoot well, but if you have them working to your accuracy satisfaction, hunt with them. They work!
Many makers like Sierra and Hornady have disclaimers that "match" bullet should not be used for hunting. Berger lists some for and others not to hunt with. In my experience all 3 "match" bullets work very well at killing stuff.

I would have to agree that ther berger's are very finickie, I have shot all types of loads and bullets and found that my gun groups best with 165 gr scirocco 2's.. loaded with hodgson 4831 at 92 grains of powder!! Just play around a little bit and see what works best for your gun ...good luck!!
