    Yep bergers. They hit harder than a freight train! I tipped over two pigs last time I took the .243 out. One at 100 yards and one at just over 200; those projectiles are devastating killers - waste some meat though.

    I was just loading some 162 Amax and compared them with the 95 burgers - the bergers look like toy bullets!

    95g Partitions worked well in my 243AI. I will be running them again once I get my next 243.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
