From what I've read in the gun rags, Rifle and Handloader, the Bergers worked very well on all applications. They were excellent big game killers.
John Barsness and Walt Berger tested them extensively in New Zealand on Goats and Red Stag. Barsness later used them in Africa on Plains Game.
All these articles were written in the last few months. So they are still current and easily findable.
Have you used Big Game powder in your 308? For some reason I've have this urge to use this powder. It's a ball powder. It's just a tick slower than RL-15. I just haven't had time to play with it. I been spending idle moments with my 2 new 19 caliber rifles and shooting tooooo many gophers. Sure is fun though.
Even with work up loads I can still shoot under .7 at 200 yds. I can't believe how accurate they are. I have the 19 Badger in a CZ527 and a 19 Calhoon Hornet T/C carbine.
Have a good one.
Bill
