Berger 109 LRHT L0t #'s

[Caymanboy]

I shoot Berger 109 LRHT, when I can find them.
I see them for sale on here occasionally, and most everyone wants to know "What Lot Number".
Why, what happened with the "Bad" lots numbers? Annnnd, what are those lot numbers?

I wouldn't worry about it. Most people ask about lot numbers because someone else told them it matters. For Berger hybrids, it doesn't IMO. If shooting Hornady or DTAC(Sierra) then it does matter.

If you really care about the best BC consistency and getting the most consistent 6mm bullet, then shoot the 105s. They just egde out the 109s and I'm not even sure people can shoot the difference in most practical shooting disciplines.

I ask for lot numbers because if I can find the same lots, I crack open the box and keep shooting. When I start a new lot, I take a few measurements and verify a few things at the range. It doesn’t really matter but it’s nice to just continue into the new box like nothing changed. As for “bad lots”? I don’t think that’s an issue.

I get your point on all the same lot number. I just see where people want to know a specific lot.

Base to Ogive measurements can be off between lots. My current lot of 109s compared to my old lot is different by about .010” bto. This is pretty standard from what I’ve seen.
