[QUOTE="Brett Bracken, post: 1517420, member: 106232"] I too am a fan of Berger bullets as far as consistency in weight and accuracy. My experience with the ELD-X bullets was very disappointing in that regard. They will vary in weight by as much as 3 grains in a single box. And accuracy at long range is so so. I find that unacceptable. The Bergers.....they are spot on. However....when it comes to terminal performance at long ranges I have been extremely disappointed in the Bergers.....albeit my experience has been very limited to two situations. First....I shot a watermelon at 775 yds and the Berger bullet literally went through the watermelon like a field tipped arrow. Second....I shot a hog broadside behind the shoulder at 775 yds and lost the hog. If it had been an ELD-X bullet it would have been a different story but I don't have confidence in their accuracy. Would like to hear from others as to their experience with shooting Bergers at long range game. I wish I could find a bullet that I could shoot with long range pinpoint accuracy like the Berger but would perform like the ELD-X on impact. I haven't found one yet. [/QUOTE]
