FWIW, the 40 gr Bergers shot very well for me in both a bolt and an AR. 1" @300 if I was shooting well (always a bipod and rear bag) and about 1.5" when I wasn't too sharp.
My favorite shop no longer carries them. rats.
Question about the Berger 40gr Varmint BT
Re: Question about the Berger 40gr Varmint BT
I contacted CRT and their 37gr bullets are on backorder. And after looking at their photos online and seeing the flat base design, I can't help but think these will allow for more bullet contact in the case neck - and with a fairly short case neck already, the .204 can use all the contact it can get, IMO. I'm going to place an order and will see how these shoot when they come in.

Well, I don't know how they would perform on fox but I can tell you they shoot good out of my CZ. From the sounds of it, doesn't sound like "Alot" of guys are liking the 40gr BTHP. I know I can switch 39gr Blitzkings and 40gr Bergers and groups are great with either and they impact the same as far as POI.

1" groups at 300 yards? That's pretty good!

If you're getting those groups consistently, just get them Bergs wherever you can. Gotta be happy with that accuracy.tpcollins wrote:bow shot wrote:FWIW, the 40 gr Bergers shot very well for me in both a bolt and an AR. 1" @300 if I was shooting well (always a bipod and rear bag) and about 1.5" when I wasn't too sharp.
