Berger bullets (free, I guess)

[LongRangeSweden]

Hi hide members,
So, since I hand load and mostly use Berger bullets I was really surprised when I saw a pice of paper in the box. At first I was happy but then I realized that it was my usual luck.

That little piece of paper said:
~Winner~
You have won FREE
Berger Bullets
To redeem please call
714-447-5428
Code: xxxx Valid in US Only

Well, since this is my usual luck and I don't live in the US (unfortunately) I was thinking like this - I'll give this one away to a hide member. So at least somebody may enjoy it.
Now the thing is, I want someone who really needs it to get it... as you may understand.

Hopefully somebody answers this post.

Wish you all the very best

I could use it.
What do you need in return?

Re: Berger bullets

I'd chime in to say that's very good of you.

Don't put me on the list, I'd rather see it go to someone who could use some help.

Nothing against Bergers, just that I can afford to buy them.

Re: Berger bullets

Thank you, I was hoping that people would see it from my point of view

Wow, that's really generous of you & congrats to whoever "wins". I don't want to say that my "need" is any more or less than the next guy, but I did have to stop buying Bergers due to cost when we had our first child & my wife stopped working. Love them, though. I'll put my name in the hat.

Re: Berger bullets

I just finished a new 308 and am trying to work up a new load for it, and would love to try some different Bergers gratis. Good on you for putting this up, and congrats to whoever gets these.

Re: Berger bullets

Good on you for doing this. Nothing quite like paying it forward.

As others have said, DO NOT put my name in the pot. I can afford to buy them.

Re: Berger bullets

So, I want to start of this post by saying that I'm truly impressed of the respons that I got these last days. I'm surprised that so many men said that they didn't need these bullets, to give them to someone that is in need. That says a lot about you. The shooting community would be nowhere without you.

I was actually prepared for a s@!tstorm of mail with people bagging for this so called gift. Nope, nothing, just a couple of students, one family dad and one (as I understand it) marine.

When it came down to the line I couldn't offer these bullets to the students even thou I've been in the same situation a couple years ago. The thing is, by not having the economy I have today made me a better shooter, I made every shot count. I truly believe that if they really love this 'sport' then they'll push forward no matter what.

It came down to two men, actually three but one of them disappeared from my inbox (can someone take away my mail without me knowing??)

Mceod; he told me a lot about himself, things that I won't write here but he seemd to be a good choice for this "gift". He made a honorable choice and backing out when he heard about this other gentleman and his story. Mceod I hope to hear from you again.

Tdow; five kids, one income, I don't need to say anything more. Sir, the bullets are yours. I hope that they'll give you some joy. If you hunt, maybe some extra food on the table as well. I will be waiting for an update and some pictures

This was a very interesting experience and I thank once again for the positive response.
