We have completed the 2011 pricing for J4 Jackets. Copper prices are at an all time high so a slight increase was unavoidable. We have taken steps to secure prices for all of 2011 so an additional increase during the year is unlikely even though copper prices are expected to rise another 50%...

I know that very few reading this forum who are associated with the US Rifle Team. However, we have done something that I think you should know about. We have done this not for marketing reasons but for reasons more important to the bigger picture of the shooting sports. It is my sincere hope...

Good News on 6mm Target Bullets After a considerable amount of effort and hair pulling we've managed to get the 6mm press up and rolling again. In fact, we have finished running the jackets for the 105 gr class bullets. For those of you still waiting for 105 gr BT, 108 gr BT or 105 gr VLD...

We are making the 7mm standard jackets which are used to make bullets in our Hunting line. We are making the jackets that are used to make the 180 gr VLD Hunting now. It will be about 2-3 more weeks for us to finish these jackets. Then we will switch to the Thick jacket used to make the 180...

For those who are interested in the short 30 cal jackets will soon be switching to the 1.080. These are not as heavily used as the .925 and 1.000 so it won't be long before we switch back to the .925. I thought we made more than enough .925 to keep these jackets in stock but we are already out...

Correction I'd like to thank Larry Bartholome for locating this thread as it has some misinformation that I need to correct. In previous posts I made the following statement: This is incorrect on two points. The first is that the 175 gr XLD has a G7 BC of .336 while our 180 gr VLD has a G7...

I am pleased to announce that the 30 cal .925 long have been completed and we are running the 30 cal 1.000 long. The same situation applies. We will ship the oldest orders first and will continue shipping until all back orders are completed. You are welcome to add to your order however...

It is with great pleasure and relief to announce that our machine is currently running the 30 cal .925 long J4 jackets. They look very good. We will be running them until all back orders are filled and we put a bunch on the shelf so we don't have to go through this lack of supply again. We...

I apologize for not getting back to this thread sooner. Regarding the 30 cal jackets we are nearly finished with the 1.400 long. As soon as we are we will switch to the .925 long and then go through the length from there (1.000 then 1.080 and so on). I expect that we will saitisfy all the...

As Bart relayed this new policy will make things better for everyone including the "little guys". The bottom line is having available supply. Our previous efforts were focused on making just enough until we cycle through the different sizes and get back to them again. This can work just fine...

In the next few weeks those who purchase significant volumes of J4 jackets will get a letter detailing our change in policy. Until now we had been working to reduce the amount of time it takes to set up the machines. This would allow us to carry less inventory and switch through different...

Way to go Gary!!

I apologize for the delayed response. Today, a video update will be posted on our website announcing the official release of our new 338 cal 300 gr Hybrid. Since this caliber "moves our bookend" or said differently is entirely new to us, we are limiting the release to our technical partner for...

Cabela's I've learned that Cabela's does not stock 7mm Target bullets. They also have not purchased the 7mm 180 gr VLD Hunting bullet for over a year. We are looking back but it is possible that they never stocked this bullet. We will be in touch with them to discuss adding this (or putting...

Still making 7mm I need to clarify which bullet you are asking about. The 7mm 180 gr VLD Target bullet is in stock now. We have about 80 boxes available. We also have over 100 boxes of the 7mm 180 gr BT Target. I am looking into the Cabela's situation but if they stopped selling them this...

Doc, I am very interested in this situation. It will be faster for both of us if I address this with you directly. Please email me at eric.stecker@bergerbullets.com. I do not have time to get to the forums as often as I'd like so direct emails are faster. What I can tell you is that the...

6mm press is running We are thrilled to relay that the press that makes the 6mm long jackets (1.050 long ~ 1.290 long) is rebuilt and is running well. We are completing a run of 6mm 1.150 long THICK that was on the press when we stopped it. This run should be completed by the end of this week...

Chad, The popularity of the .925 and 1.000 long compel us to run these first when we go to the "short" 30 cal jackets so we start with the .925. Adding to your order will ensure that you get more since we plan our run for the amount that is on order at the time we start the run and then...

30 cal machine There is one machine that runs all 30 cal jackets. In our effort to minimize the delays in set up we have designated specific machines to run specific calibers. 30 cal bullet sales rank #1 and 30 cal jacket sale rank #2 (6mm .825 long is #1) out of all the calibers. This is...

Latest Update We've learned that the 6mm press requires minimal repair which will likley result in this press being up and running next week. The press making the 6.5mm and 7mm jackets will take a few more weeks as it will be completely rebuilt. The good news is that with the 6mm press out of...
