The Spring 2016 Berger Bullet Sale is Closed.

The Berger Bullet Sale is closed for 2015.  Watch this spot in the spring of 2016 for the Spring Bullet Sale.

Peter Church found this amongst the late Noel Sugden's material.  Of note is the number of persons shown on the competitor list (309).  Along with the number of persons who were competing in this particular match.  

The results are eighteen pages long.  Notably, this was all hand typed, probably on a manual typewriter.  Maybe they had a adding machine to help with the calculations, but this was almost fifteen years before the first hand calculators, and about a quarter century before the IBM PC.

Look it over and enjoy the nostalgia.

The Fall 2015 Berger Bullet Sales program is open for business.  

This is an opportunity to purchase Berger .22 Caliber bullets in your choice of weights for $20/100.  A significant portion of the purchase price will be used to support Junior programs in Michigan.

To participate go to "SALES", read Jim's comments, and then enter the store.

Although every effort is made to process the order to Berger quickly at the end of October, deliveries may require months.  I personally have generally received my order in March of the subsequent year.  So, if you are buying to use in 2015, order from a distributor.  If you can afford to wait until 2016 order now.  

Good Shooting!
