[ELR Researcher]

Berger (in an ad in Shooting Industry Magazine (http://fmgpublications.ipaperus.com/FMGPublications/ShootingIndustry/SI0119/?page=82), "the ELR Match Solid Bullets are available in .375 caliber with 379 and 407 gr offerings."

****... About time they did this! You wouldn't happen to have the bullet specs yet would you?

Hey! I also noticed they are listing the 156 gr .264 and the 329 gr. 338 cal too!!

I'm thinking maybe after the Shot show??

Nothing other than what is shown in their ad - weights.

I think it's about time they produce a high BC cup-n-core VLD.
One day...one day!

It's a logical transition. I see all of the major companies going with some lathe turned solids for ELR work.

Mehhh! They are a few years late for a solid. Where is the .375 cup core with high bc that could be used for hunting. That would get me to try another load in my AM. Although I'm not a long range target shooter. I do it to practice for hunting.

Pics above this post. I have no specs yet. They should be in the book from AB. BUT thats just the prototype data.

Another tid-bit. Berger also had a 301 grain .338 Solid prototype out at one point.

What is the nature and source of the pic - of one of the prototypes or of a production sample or a rendering or? Thanks.

If that baring surface is on radius then we will be expecting royalties. May explain why Litz cut off communication with us 3 years ago.

There is no better entertainment than reading Advertising Copy as supplied by their agency. These folks are experts at trying to make us believe that Berger is the first and the best. My take is that they're currently riding on the back of those companies who actually did the original leg work and are making some of the best ELR bullets in the world. But that's what happens when you come to the table late.
