Betger bullets in 25-06

I was wondering if anyone has tried these bullets in the hunting loads? I see where they have them in the 115 gr and was curious if they make them in the 100 gr hunting loads as well. Thanks for any info on them.

That's suppose to say Berger bullets not Betger?

Berger makes only a 115gr VLD hunting bullet. I'm shooting them out of my 280 AI. I set them about .010 longer than factory and they shot awesome (.196)

Have you shot any game with them yet? I'm always a little leary of match grade bullets performing on meat compared to paper. Curious on the expansion and how much weight was retained. thanks for any info at all.

stick with the yellow box target bullets and you'll be fine, from my tests the orange box hunting bullets are useless for the purpose they are intended. RR

I shot a deer at about 60yrds with them out of a .270 Win (130gr), left a softball size exit hole...
