Roger. Thanks. Moot point now as both remain impossible to find. Which I don’t understand, but I know it’s the way of the world these days. Any experience with the 205 Elite Hunter? Those I can find.

They work well.

Berger says their Hunting bullets are lighter jacketed than their target bullets. That seems rather counter intuitive to me. Wouldn’t you want the tougher bullet for hunting? I don’t shoot Bergers (yet, ?) but I found this surprising. What’s the logic? I always thought target and match (Matchking etc) bullets were not suitable for hunting because they were too frangible and now Berger says their hunting bullets are more frangible? Confusing.
You want the lighter jacket in my experience.
I made a few kills with 220 lrhts and 215s and they don't open as reliabley or kill as fast as the hunting line.
