Hello all. Post #1 under the .308 Load Sticky...
Wanting to expand myself beyond the 175smk and looking at the 185 Bergers. Not familiar with them besides their excellent reputation. They seem to have quite a few options in the 185gr range. In layman beginner terms, can someone explain the "basics" to me on their Target, Tactical, and Hunting bullets? I'm gathering it's jacket thickness, expansion characteristics, etc. The BCs on all of them look pretty similar around the 55-56 range. I'm looking for a bullet that will take my .308 out to 1K+ and is a step above the Sierras. If I can do that with one of their "Hunting" bullets, I'm fine with that.
Has anyone experimented with the various offerings and be kind enough to share what they found?
Gun is a 700 5R with a 24" tube.
Thanks again.
