135s for now. I have some 134s that I have not loaded and will be picking up some 133s as well.
Cool man. Looking forward to hearing your results. The 133 worked great for me yesterday so ill continue using them. I'm sure the 135 will do just as good.

I've got a boat load of 134's too but the bergers just shoot Fantastic and its hard to mess with a good thing...I need to dedicate a build to the 134"s so I have an excuse to shoot em

Yeah I did the same. My 257roberts AI will be running the 134s. I ran the 140 elite hunters in my 260 and it’s a great bullet design. I have full confidence in the 133s as well.

A friend of mine has a conventional twist 25-06 and wants to use it for elk. We tested sme different handloads and the Berger 115 shot well.

Has anyone used the 115 Berger VLD Hunting bullet on game?

I shot this buck when I was just a lad with a pretty sweet 25/06 I had. 110 Accubond, horrendous bullet performance…
Funny you say that. I’ve shot two deer with that bullet and was very underwhelmed. Silver lining is that both deer died and were recovered. Not sure what I expected but the way that people talk about accubonds I guess I expected something more??

It’s been 12 years but I recall that first bullet hitting a shoulder at 120 yards and absolutely nuking before making it to the vitals, and the buck sprinting uphill. My Dad ended up finding the buck bedded in the timber and I killed him at like 20
Yards offhand. I couldn’t believe how badly it worked…
