[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1132666, member: 55230"] I agree, but thats not the case. Bergers have sloppy meplat thats a fact. Also there are a lot of guys hunting w/ what berger calls a target bullet. I will add the 195's look like their quality control is a little more up to speed compared to their 180s. I'm glad there is finally good competition in the high BC game from companies like Lapua, Sierra, Hornady.... etc that will put the pressure on berger for more consistent bullets. Furthermore the target guys are tipping and trimming meplat to get higher more consistent BC out of their target bullets. But this is the exact opposite a hunter would want to do, either way manipulating the -sloppy- meplat for a desired effect. FWIW.. When you get only 1 shot I'd rather make sure my tips are GTG vs settling for a less wind bucking bullet. Inspecting a handful of bullets for a hunting trip is nothing when you think about the target guys tipping and trimming 1000's of bullets over time. Do what works for you and your conscience, and I'll do whats good for mine.... a good ol cut on contact broadhead :D [/QUOTE]
