35 gr bergers

[shadrac]

has anybody tried the 20 cal 35gr bergers on critters pds coyotes?

I have used them on ground squirrels and coyotes. GREAT on the squirrels. I find that I prefer a heavier bullet on the coyotes but, as is always - shot placement is key. Most of my coyote shots are long ones.

YES SIR THAT'S ALL I SHOOT IN MY LVSF 204 30GRS OF VARGET 205M PRIMER 35GR HP BERGER IS ONE BAD COMBO IN MY RIFLE VARMINTS NIGHTMARE!!!!!

I just bought 1000 for my new 20 TAC and have a good load really screaming along at 3900 fps. Do they pass through varmints as large as ghogs or do they come apart internally? They probably explode crows and squirrels, but I " harvest" ghogs and don' t like crawl aways. Dropped 104 ghogs with 12 crawl aways in 2014.

SOMETIME YOU'LL GET A PASS THROUGH NOT OFTEN BUT FOR SURE IT WILL MAKE A MESS FOR SURE TURNS CROW INSIDE OUT!!!!!!!!!!

The 35 Berger is considered by many 204 shooters THEE fur saving bullet. So if you're a fur hunter that would be your bullet to use. Only complaint i have ever read or heard is the BC is fairly low.

To make sure this bullet comes apart in the varmint I have been hollow pointing them with a very small drill. This removes .2 gr. An early 100 yd test shooting oranges and grape fruits is VERY impressive! There is a difference in the explosion...more water vapor with the hollow point! Not sure about in ghogs since they are still hibernating. I'll be ready.
