I sent an e-mail to Berger Bullets yesterday asking how many bullets would need to be ordered if they would be willing to again make .17 caliber 25 gr match HP bullets as a special run (this is not match varmint).
Here is their answer.
Possibly, if enough of us would commit to purchasing a large number of these a special run might be made?
Never say never!

Hello Jim,

Thank you for contacting us at Capstone PG. This bullet had been discontinued due to lack of sales to justify carrying it. To bring a bullet back like this would require a run into the high hundreds of thousands that would be committed to by our distributors and dealers and the demand simply has not been forthcoming. We have noted your request as to your wants since it is information like yours that is valuable to us and is looked at by our R & D new product teams. We thank you for taking your time to contacting us with your wants. Please do not hesitate to get back with any of us with the Capstone Tech Team if we can be of further assistance.

I will probably use my supply Berger(target) 25's and 30's when my 29 gr WCD and another suppliers 29's are gone. Still use the Berger 25 varmint(mef) for fox and raccoon.
 
Yeah that 25 grain Berger Match (Target) is a winner for sure. Great little Fur bullet. But it’s not worth committing to the high volume run not knowing how many people will commit. Or getting stuck buying a huge number of them. If Berger was smart they would just test the waters. Do a limited run of 200k, bet they would sell out in a VERY short period of time, especially with the discontinued Hornady 25 grain HP.....Then if you don’t want to commit to bringing them back as a standard bullet. Have a limited run every few years then everyone is happy. BUT don’t hold your Breath I really doubt they would make it happen....

Hornady discontinued the 25gr HP? I had no clue, dag nabit! I have slid over to the v-max though, but i still liked the 25hp.
 
i am glad i have a bunch. bergers are awsome for coyotes, I have taken a 800 coyotes and cats with mine . the hornady's don't work as well.
