88 Berger Kill Results.

[370bc]

I shot a young female yote yesterday morning using the berger 88's for the first time. Had a pencil hole entrance and a golf ball exit. Bang-Flop. I first tried the 80 Bergers because I have a 1-12 douglas barrel on my kimber montana. During load development, I was lured away with the higher BC's of the 88's.
It was at 200 yards with a 15-20 MPH crosswind. I was very pleased with the results. I tried the 87 VMax's first with very bad grouping. It took about 70 bullets to do the OCW test with two powders, then the berger seating test for it all to come together. I searched for results of the 88's and coyotes but did not find anything much out there.

My hunting buddy shot a coyote with my .243 using the 80 gr Bergers. At just under 500 yards the results were just like yours, except the exit hole was more like tennis ball sized...it was a broadside shot through both lungs.

I've never tried the 88's because the 80's have always shot extraordinarily well for me.

Good to hear the 88's are working for you

Those 88's shoot as well as any custom bullet I've tried in my Dasher. And by the way they will smoke a groundhog.

Are you seating those 88 Gr Bergers in the lands or off the lands in your Dasher?
Thanks very much.....
