[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2524482, member: 10291"] For LR hunting purposes, of the bullets in the list, the Berger’s have been my top choice for the past dozen years. The combination of high BC’s with excellent consistency are my primary criteria. Even given the Berger “hunting” nomenclature, not all have performed well in terms of their performance on game and do need to be tested. Not listed, but my most used bullets for LR hunting with my 6.5x284’s has been the JLK VLD 140/142 which I had acquired a large supply prior to passing of Steve Mulholland, Swampworks. Very similar to the 140 HVLD Berger’s in design(J4 jacket), the JLK had a higher BC(.323vs.307), with superb consistency, and performance on game. I just recently found out that the JLK brand and operation was bought by a new owner(Ed Faber) back in 2020. I have not yet tried the current offerings but I understand that Ed is making a very strong effort to replicate the original JLK offerings. [URL unfurl="true"]https://jlkbullets.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
