Ken
Schramm “Quick Clean kill with no meat loss.”
Ken is a hunter from Laramie, Wyoming. Above all when he hunts, he values a "quick, clean, humane" kill. With limited time to develop a load, Ken set out to get a buck using Bergers for the very first time. For eight long days, he passed up several animals, waiting for the right one. Finally, his 192" buck appeared 279 yards away. In 30 MPH winds, he took the shot. "The buck hunched up, took two hops downhill, and piles up in the deep brush."
Ken's rifle is a Remington Model 7 in .243 Win, loaded with Reloader 22 and Berger 6mm 95gr Match Grade Hunting VLDs.
Guy
Miner “These bullets are exactly as described by Barsness; they shoot very accurately, perform superbly in the wind, and are very effective on game.”
Guy Miner is an experiened hunter from Chelan County, Washington. On this hunt in Wenatchee, he took a beautiful buck at 230 yards. The first shot went through the buck's back and hit the spine, dropping him instantly in a humane kill. The buck was 26” wide, 4x4, and heavy bodied. Guy, his son, and a friend on the hunt with them helped field dress the buck and get him packed up.
Guy shoots a 25-06 Remington CDL with fixed Leupold scope, Hodgdon powder, Federal primers, and Berger 25 Caliber 115 Grain Match Grade Hunting VLDs.
Gary
Konsor"Thanks for a wonderful bullet!"
Gary Konsor, from Holdingford Minnesota, finished a satisfying father & son hunt in Anchorage, Alaska. After speaking with Walt Berger and working hard to develop the perfect load, Gary came up with a ½ MOA load. Excited and confident, he set off in Alaska to find this bedded Dall ram in Alaska’s Brooks Range. He took the shot at 290 yards and the ram dropped. “He never moved” was Gary’s pleased response.
Gary’s rifle was a TikaT3, 270 WSM topped with a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10 scope. His load was a Winchester brass and primer, Hodgdon 4831SC powder, and Berger 270 cal 140 gr Match Grade Hunting VLDs.
Samuel Personius"Simply great bullets!"
Samuel, son of Mike Personius, took this 9 point 190 lb deer at 120 yards. Taken at the front right shoulder, a small hole was visible from the outside but the massive internal damage tipped that deer right over. At thirteen, Samuel has gotten his first deer and field dressed it with his father on their hunt.
Samuel was shooting a Winchester feather light compact .243 with Reloader 19. His choice of bullet was a Berger 6 mm 95 Grain Match Grade Hunting VLD.
Glen
Jones"Great knock down power with every shot."
Glen Jones lives in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada where he enjoys the shooting sports. On this moose hunt in Canada, he relied on Berger Bullets to bring the moose down instantly. He is most impressed with Berger’s ability of “flat shooting and extremely accurate shots."
