Berger 22 Cal 90 grain?


Recommended Posts

Those are great bullets for long range if you have a gun that will handle it. They'll work in .223 or 22/250. Need a pretty fast barrel twist. Needless to say, loaded rounds won't fit in an AR magazine.


Have you tried them before? Just curious as I haven't found anyone local that has ever tried them.

They're real specialized long range target bullets. If you don't shoot long range, they're probaby useless.


That's what I thought. Do you know any of the "more active" TGO members that could use something like these? My average shooting is 300 yards or less so I'm not really a "long range" shooter.

I don't. My gun is an 8 twist, and can't use them. I haven't gotten around to loading the 80's yet.

I don't think Berger makes these anymore. They don't list them on their website. I use the 90 grn VLD and for target shooting it works very well out to 1000 yards. (if you have a barrel designed to use them) I've heard the the BTLR like you have works great out to 600 but after that it looses too much velocity. They will need to be loaded long. I don't believe they can be loaded to mag length because the bearing surface would be below the neck.
