Nice Berger Advertisement there.

READ THE OPS QUESTION- he is talking about .30 Caliber bullets for the .308.! NOT 130g 6.5 slugs. He is also talking about taking DEER at 400 to 800 yards.

In a 168g .30 cal slugs, the Nosler Ballistic tips, AccuaBonds , Hornady SSTs A-Maxes have .475 BCs- SAME as Berger hunting VLDs. Sierra Match kings are .463, Lapua 155g Scenars are .500. Every damn one of those bullets will kill a DEER just as dead as any 168g .30 Berger will at 400 to 800 yards.

So much for BCs.

As to preference on game- Nosler Ballistic tips and Seirra match kings were killing deer stone dead at long ranges long before Berger Hunting VLDs were even introduced.

Berger bullets are great bullets, but there are about a half dozen other firms make equally good long range bullets.
