It is hard to communicate intent with the written or typed word. I understood what you meant but was concerned that maybe others would consider your comments as suggesting poor performance. My response was not to you but rather a clarification to others who are reading this what our objective...

I appreciate the feedback on both the box counts and how the bullets are shooting. It is important to be clear on our objective with this bullet. It is not meant to clearly out shoot all the quality bullets that are being made by skilled bulletsmiths. Our objective is to make an offering of...

Eric, We stand behind our quality and if you have bullets that you believe are not good we will exchange them at no cost to you. The first step is to contact Teresa Collins who handles returns. She can be reached directly at 714-447-5484 or at teresa.collins@bergerbullets.com. She will have...

Hovis, All our bullets are made using automation. The presses are very similar to a hand operation. They use linkage to cam over center for repeatable travel and to "double hit" which is something we've always regarded as important for precision forming. Also, each press (operation) is...

Just a quick heads up that the 6mm BR Column bullets were quickly sold out. We are making a new run in the next week or so. It is difficult to know how many bullets to make when they are a new item. Clearly my estimate on how many we would go through was too low. We will make larger runs in...

Lojak, Andrea Cobos is the Account Manager for our resellers outside the US. Give her a call at 714-447-5427 and let her know where you are located. Also, let her know which reseller you go to for your bullets and she will get together with them to make sure we keep you supplied up north...

I recommend that shooters buy them from our resellers as they will have lower prices than if you buy from us directly. Having said that these bullets are in stock now. The bullets are called the 6mm BR Column. The weight is not the critical characteristic but rather the location of the lead...

Accurateshooter.com has posted an article with pictures of the BR Column bullet. Bryan also goes a little deeper in his explaination of this design. http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2012/02/bergers-new-6mm-column-bullet-for-short-range-benchrest/ Regards, Eric

Mike, We are going to start with the 6mm. It is important to sort out that this works as we expect it to. Lou has done a lot of work on this project and these bullets and similar bullets have been shot by other BR shooters with success but the true test is when these bullets are used by many...

Russ, I really appreciate your comments. Frankly, when I left Berger in 2000 we were regularly found on every equipment list. When I returned to Berger in 2004 this was not the case. This was a very difficult situation for me to process given that at the end of the day I regard Berger as a...

This is a flat base bullet with a special ogive shape. It is not like our Hybrid bullet but it does use more than one radius size to make the ogive shape. We tested three different ogive shapes to find out which one worked the best. All three were made with the same concept but were slightly...

There have been BR bullets in the past which were well known for achieving consistently small groups over a wide tune range in many rifles and loads; the Euber bullet for example. The seemingly 'magical' performance of these bullets has been attributed to special dies, stars aligning, owl...

When I left the shop yesterday they were preparing to make the first run since the test bullets were made. We will be making an annoucement when these bullets are ready to ship. I expect that to be in the next few weeks. I am as interested as you are in finding out how these bullets shoot...

Greg, We are developing bullets in 30 cal and 22 cal for benchrest using the same concept. We will need to test these bullets thoroughly as well so don't expect them any time soon. Regards, Eric

Andy, For the last four years we have been working hard to create a bullet based on a concept developed by our ballistician Bryan Litz. The short version is that Bryan is aware of how a bullets design can be used to offset dispersion creating effects. The challenge is that knowing these...

Hunter, That is a great question. I'll tell you why I think BR shooters don't use Bergers these days. It used to be that Berger made every eqiupment list. This ended around 2000 after the business was sold. The new owner had a different vision for Berger which included using cheaper materials...

My apologies. I forget also that I have not been on the forums as frequently as I used to be. My name is Eric Stecker and I am the Executive Vice President of Berger Bullets. That title means that I run Berger. I have a group of owners to report to but Berger's success and reputation rides...

Defining a bullet maker as custom or factory has been a confusing issue that I've had to deal with personally. For what they are worth I'd like to relay my thoughts on the subject. "Custom" bullet makers are typically regarded as bullet makers who use their arm to provide the force that makes...

The 2012 prices for J4 Jackets are now available. To get a price sheet please contact Melesia Cisneros at melesia.cisneros@bergerbullets.com. Sorting out our prices this year was particularly difficult. In a deliberate effort to keep prices stable we secure large quantities of copper at a set...

Tod Soeby and All, We at Berger Bullet stand behind our quality. The observation you have made is obviously outside our tolerances. I would like an opportunity to review these bullets and resolve the situation to your complete satisfaction. All you need to do is contact Teresa Collins at...
