Can anyone give me the G7 BCs of the Berger 155 Hybrid (308) by the speed? I left my Berger book back in MI, and am trying to nail down this load. Thanks.

Anyone try these in a gas gun yet?
Able to get them to shoot at standard mag length?

Re: Berger 155 Hybrid B.C.
I have the G7 for starting speed (0.247), but would like the G7 BC for lower speeds. I am in AZ for the winter, and forgot my book.

Hi KNIGHT11B4,
I've tried them, and they do shoot very well, but no way can I get them to fit the magazine of my AR (well, not at 0.01-0.02" jump, anyway). It has all been top loading so far.
To the b.c. question I cannot speak, as the Midway value is the only one I've seen, too.
Yours,
David

Re: Berger 155 Hybrid B.C.
That's the beauty of the hybrids. You can usually jump the hell out of them, and they still shoot lights out. I load them to mag length in a bolt gun, and they do 1/2 MOA. Try loading to max mag length in your AR, and shoot a few. They will probably suprise you.

I loaded these to mag length (in a Remmy 700 with internal mag), and I was surprised at how well they shot. Jump was greater than .1", and it didn't seem to matter much. Shot about as good as 175 SMK's at a much higher velocity and with the same BC. That is a winner in my book.

Re: Berger 155 Hybrid B.C.
Wow, that's impressive. Thanks much to both of you for the advice.
I knew the new hybrids were more permissive than the VLDs, but I figured that just meant we could increase or decrease the jump by as much as .02" without everything going to pieces; I'd no idea we could go up to >.1".
Gratefully yours,
David
