Does anyone have any experience with loading Beger Bullets for varmint hunting and have good results with them in  .223 I just got some and am looking for a load to use in my savage 110. Might have to shoot out to 300 yards for those that hang up out there.

Berger Bullets have a very thin wall jacket and should not be loaded in high powered rifle's  in less you use the lead cast data for bullet loading..X-tream Bullets are a little heaver jacket but they to should only be loaded with lead cast bullet data :  Because the Jacket wiil come off at high volocities so they will be all over the place when you try to put them on paper..  Call X-Trem Bullets and talk to there tech's about load data for the Bullets and , I know that you will get the answer that you need from a PRO !!! Not a home loader.. I wish that, I could help you but every time, I try to help some one in this club, I get told the home loaders knoww it all about loading.. I was in the USMC as a Sniper for over 10 plus years and loaded alot of ammo but, I dont know{1}**** is what the home loaders say so good luck to you and call the TECH'S AT X-TREM BULLETS for your own safety!!!   Retired USMC Sniper, LM National Match Shooters Assc.   And The Web dick can kiss my ******* -- ***.. so there ..

Cherokee, Pure bee ess!

Berger bullets are the best match bullets made, period. They most certainly are made for high power rifles, in fact they have  won  many matches at very long range. They have been used lately for hunting as well. The match hollow point VLD bullets fly flatter because of the very high BC. Their design makes them great for instant kills on game from whitetail deer up to and including elk.

A full range of bullets for varmint, target, hunting, and tactical. These are not some cheap plated handgun bullets.
