Opinion on Barns 140's match versus berger 140's vdl target

If the Bergers are not present anywhere, but there are plenty of Barnes bullets, kinda explains itself, doesn't it.

I was getting ready for a CO elk hunt with my 6.5x06s, two, and Decided to try the Barnes 140s and the 140 Bergers. After shooting the sight in, I went to the Shot show, straight to the Barnes display and chewed their butt. Copper plated the whole inside of my barrel, end to end. Then I went to the Berger display and complemented them on their bullet’s accuracy and performance at 550 yards. I was wearing a press pass, so yes, they both listened.
Barnes folks said maybe I needed to use a 130 in my 1-8 twist, with their non lead bullets. Note, non lead is longer.
When you see plenty of anything in stock today, you best ask why. As you are doing.
 
I had an issue with one of their products a few years back.
Called them and they sent a return tag. (so they knew their was an issue)
Never heard from them either way.
I've never done business with them or bought anymore of their products since...
Piss poor products and customer service.
