Fellows, the Berger he mentioned is the Classic Hunter which I believe is an easier design to tune in. Am I off base?
You are correct that the hybrid or tangent ogive of the Classic Hunters is supposedly easier to tune than the VLD. They are designed for loading to whatever magazine length and picking a powder charge. That said, given the OP's 200 yd shot likelihood, there's no reason to go with Bergers in a 7 Mag. I'd not recommend them to average hunters because average hunters don't generally understand terminal ballistics very well, and Bergers have some limitations in that arena. Partitions and other tough bullets don't. That's why I'd recommend Partitions, purchased cheaply from SPS, to a guy just starting out, taking short shots with a magnum, on big animals.
