are yall really still bitchin about this? isnt it actually hunting season right now.
I for one, would much rather see a summary of someones hunting success (or at least a good lessons-learned) summary from a recent trip, rather than seeing the last volleys of a month-old pissing match.
yall really need to give up bickering, and take up hunting. its a helluvalot more fun, and way more productive.
all that said, good luck in the coming seasons, no matter what bullet you're using. :P
in the interest of a better re-direct.... I had a great, (albeit fruitless) trip to Colorado this year. We went 0 for 4, but had a great time. Several opportunities presented themselves, but we never closed the deal.
And none of us had a Berger in our pocket (while bowhunting).

Well it took a few days on the bear, but the cow moose was only a day. I am not opposed to killing a bull in about 10 hours from now though. To be safe I did bring along a few extra supplies though:). Good luck to those headed out tomorrow, be safe.

I got some rabbits with a 124gr FMJ. Seemed to work pretty good except to the ear hit.
Lesson learned was that bunnies need noggin shots not ear shots and even the awesomely powerful 9mm with 124 FMJs won't produce a "DRT" without decent shot placement.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
VLDs in my carry gun? The bad guys had better keep a very low profile.
I understand Eric and the crew at Berger are coming out with a VLD 124gr 9mm. It has a BC right at 0.875 on the G1. Going to be the hot setup in a defensive pistol.

As I�ve pointed out before, first-hand experience is not the only way of learning � if it was we would still be living in caves and communicating with grunts and other primitive pre-language sounds. Why is it that proponents of various products always drag out this red herring when trying to discount people with different views?
There are many accounts of Berger VLDs failing to perform in a manner I consider acceptable including some in this thread and claims by the manufacturer........
Use them if you want � they don�t meet my criteria and I�ve decided not to use them for good reasons.
I've been really tempted to try Bergers 'cause they shoot VERY well from my '06 but I just don't want to mess with success....180 Accubonds and H-4350 at old standard .30/06 velocities has worked for my last eight bulls. From 23 yards out to 475.
