I emailed Berger and asked when they would be hitting the shelves again and they didn't give me a definitive answer. They told me that they were trying to get caught up and to get on a back order list with someone. If you find some let me know and I will do the same here. Got a match in 2 weeks and no bullets.

dmg, I see the target bullets here:

I couldn't get 130 hunting bullets right before a match earlier in the year, and substituted 130 target bullets. I couldn't tell a difference on paper out past 1K. I called Berger first, and they said they should shoot the same and might work fine on game, but "they weren't recommending them yet because they didn't have any data."

Red have you ever done business with them? I have swapped before and I haven't noticed any difference either. I hunt with this rifle also and I'm always scared of loading the wrong bullet though.

I know him, he's good to go, tell him I sent you. Give him a call, he might be able to get some of the hunting bullets.

Until I shoot up the rest of these target bullets, I'm keeping my hunting rounds in a different color box than the target rounds, it makes it easy to keep up with.
