Berger Joins Nammo Group - Lapua

Now I understand why Litz was using Vith powder at the recent f class nats...

So glad to finally get this out. Yes, it's official, welcome aboard Berger and crew! Should be great things ahead for both parties here.

I'm a recent addition to ABM, long time shooter, long time in shooting sports community, new to the benchrest/high power/F class community.. I'm going to take this as a good thing. At ABM, we take serious pride in our work, hopefully this will help thrust ABM to the next level. Looking forward to this huge potential opportunity.

Well, looks like I'm late to the party (again-spending more time reloading and shooting lately) and just read the news about the sale of Berger Bullets to Nammo. And I too wish Walt, Brian and the gang, well in their new endeavor. But I also am thinking that this was a strategic move because of the upcoming Presidential election in terms of probable more (anticipated) restriction(S) on the sales and EXPORT of bullets. I just hope Berger doesn't change a thing as "it don't need fixin!" And as far as Brian Litz using VV powders at a recent competition, I can't speak for others, but I've found actually much success lately in switching some of my loads to VV powders in my BR rifles in terms of better accuracy and tighter groups. That's not to say other powders are inferior because they are not. Just means the combinations that I've been using for the past five+ yrs have actually improved using VV powder in both my bolt BR rifles and my AR's. At any rate, good luck Berger Bullets and keep 'em comin!

I realy hope nothing changes in Australia with this.. NIOA are the importers of Lapua and once they got their hands on it the prices have doubled.. I so hope they dont become the importers of bergers so we can still get normal prices

If I read this correctly, Berger is now, as with so many American Companies, owned by a foreign corporation.

I just hope that production will remain here, and not moved overseas...

Berger will remain in the USA.
