Nosler vs Berger

[Cade]

In a 6.5CM has anybody tried the Nosler 140 RDF compared to the Berger 140 Hybrid Target. How do they rate. One any better than the other??
thanks

Most early reports on the Nosler RDFs are from fanboys who were given the bullets.

Berger is usually the first bullet I like to try in a new build, followed by Sierra, Hornady, Lapua, and just about anything but Nosler. Nosler is easy to get to 1.0 MOA, but hard to get (and keep) at 0.5 MOA due to lot to lot variations. BCs are usually below advertised.

Sierra and Berger often have lot to lot variations also, but they seem much less likely to ruin your group sizes or require new load workups.

It's the new paradigm in salesmanship. Give the stuff away or at least sell it cheap and then sit back and wait for the good reviews by the "fanboys" .

They're worth a try. Maybe your barrel will love RDF's or maybe it will rather get hitched with the Hybrids. Let her decide.
