52 Berger??

[BULLET 05]

My .223 shoots a 52 grain Berger H/P pretty good what is some of your opinions on this bullet? Mainly for ground hogs.

Berger makes two of them. The varminter and the match. Which one are you talking about?

The Varmint Match gives great terminal ballistics on Chucks from my .222 Remington. I can hear the hits despite being "deaf as a post"!

I've had good luck with both the 52's in a 22BR.

Sweet shooter in the triple deuce. One of my favorites.

If you have the twist the 64 grain Varmint Match is another that is the "cat's pajamas"! I've always said if a properly twisted barrel doesn't shoot them it won't shoot any!

Yes, I should have mentioned this. Most .223s are at least 1 in 12" twists, so they will shoot this bullet. Tremendous accuracy and easy to load for.

I still have a bunch of old 55 gr MEF bullets for my 22-250. They do an awesome job on the dogs and are very accurate at 3780 fps.
