Berry Manufacturing Blue Diamond 50 cal Bullet

[DaMitch]

I have done a bit of searching without finding anyone talking about the Berry's Manufacturing Blue Diamond BP Bullet. I have shot this bullet in my TC 209/50 with great success as far as on the paper. I think this bullet shoots so well in the TC because of a slight driving band at the base of the bullet which measures 452.5. .451 just forward of this band. Berry's have a blue Sabot that again has preformed in my TC. Anyone thoughts Gentlemen:

Never tried them and at $20/25 for a plated bullet, i probably will not. I am curious who makes the sabot for them.

Have you tried the Harvester Scorpion PT Gold which is about $20/50 plus sabot cost?

GM54-120 Yes Sir I like the 300 grain Harvester with their black ribbed sabot. Here in NE most shots at deer are 100 yards or less and I like the flat shooting 250 grain bullet as it holds about the same at 50 and 100 yards. Load is 96 grains of Swiss 1 1/2 with the Berry Blue sabot. I believe they have their own injection molding machines for the sabot. You are correct that the Harvester Gold bullet is a good one as is their sabot. After putting mics on the SST, Harvester and Berry bullet, the Berry just looked like it would be a shooter. Best,

Some say that the Traditions Smackdown Carnivor is nothing more than a remanded Berry. The Carnivor is 21.99 for 15 bullets. I bought 25 Berry's for 21.99. I can't wait to test them in my LHR Redemption.

Just look at them. Sabots/Tips look the same other than color. Traditions does not make bullets but they have rebranded many including Parkers in the past.

Traditions has even rebranded the sst before

Years back they had a blowout price on APBs. It was nothing more than a Parker BE but the blowout pricing was great so i bought quite a few packs. Back then the BE was .4505 and now i think they are .451. All Tradtions did was order them with yellow tips and include a MMP sabot.
