308SakoAlex, I have used the bullet weights you mention, but NOT Bergers. Berger bullets are for the most part designed as target bullets not game bullets, thought quite accurate. I consider the .257 AI a game catridge, not a target round. The .257 AI absolutely shines with the heavier bullets, and I have used it on plains game in Africa, and western US hunts as well as whitetailed deer in the yard at home. The Nosler 110 gr Accubond is very accurate in my Hart barreled Sako, and velocities in excess of 3,000 ft/sec's are possible. It is one of my favorite rifles.
