Berger 168gr Hybrid.

http://www.bergerbullets.com/Product...20Bullets.html



Anyone tried these? With a G1 BC of .519 and a G7 of .266 it's a couple of thousandths better than the Berger 175gr BT LR that i shoot and it's cheaper. Usually i wouldn't care but i could probably run it at slightly greater speeds than the 175gr BT LR giving me greater performance at a lower price. Just wondering how they handle the 1000yd line.

They sure are beautiful going to load some tonight probably around 44-45gr of varget in 1/2 grain increments, going to start at mag length. Shoot them see if they'll group with a large jump. If not i'll go to single feeding and see what i can do from there.

From left to right: 168gr VLD, 168gr Hybrid, 175gr BT LR
