Thread: New Berger 156g 6.5mm Elite Hunter

All well and good as long as they expand.

I’ve always seen the Berger design as “potentially” flawed. For example read @tikka’s most recent trip report and why he changed from the Berger to the ELD-M.

The design of the Elite Hunter yields numbers that means guys are going to try them waaaayyy out there... I’d far rather use a bullet I trust than one that has just enough bad reviews to make me think twice.

I've never tried them - I use 143g ELD-X - numbers look good though

Had similar experiences with Bergers, very inconsistent performance. Changed to ELD-X and never looked back.
