Thread: Any 284 shooters have used 168gr bergers

RL-26 may give you the extra speed you need to get decent knock down but back then I switched from 168 bergers to 162 ELDs and bingo...I've just got some of the 150 berger classic hunters to try which should be interesting over RL17.

I would be really interested in your results
