Bergers for Hunting or Not?

[walkinhorseman]

I shoot Bergers exclusively in my match rifles. However, I would never consider a bullet with those design criteria for any big game. Maybe groundhogs. My big game rifles have seen Sierra’s, Hornady, and Noslers. I’m glad to see the old solid base boat tails back without the ballistic tips.

I have tried the 135gr Classic hunters in my 6.5 creedmoor. Killed 2 deer this year. Doe went 20 yards with a complete pass through and great blood trail. Buck went 50 yards downhill with complete pass through and excellent blood trail. I would try them again.

Tried ABLR’s last year myself for the 1st time. Results on paper and meat left nothing to be desired.

I do not care for them hence I’ve never used them. I do not like their design principles. Instead I am in the Nosler camp where bullets have predictable performance results.

Just ordered another batch of ABLR for my 6.5 Mega.
129grs and they will be on high speed pursuit, maxed out with regular 130AB’s earlier at 3505fps.
