    Range Report Berger 168gr hybrid w/ g-1 bc of .519

    Re: Berger 168gr hybrid w/ g-1 bc of .519 Allow me to clarify. The hybrid ogive is intended to have low drag (like a VLD), but without the extreme sensitivity to seating depth that a VLD has. In other words the bullet is tolerant to jump, but there are limits. Given the excessively long...

    Proud day,Pops joined Mile Club. Now...Bergers?

    Re: Proud day, my dad joined the mile club! Cory, I've tested several of the hybrids including the .338 between 0.015" and 0.060" and found little affect on accuracy in my rifles. Success with longer jumps will depend a lot on rifle specific variables. One of the objectives of the hybrid...

    Re: Proud day, my dad joined the mile club! Currently there is only a 300 grain Hybrid available, not a VLD yet. You can read about the hybrid design here: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2011/03/tangent-vs-secant-vs-hybrid-ogive-bryan-litz-explains/ My Edge load is 92 grains of H1000...

    Range Report Lower than expected MV

    Re: Lower than expected MV The numbers look right to me as well. Scaling velocity down from the 168 (~2650 fps) to a 175 grain load, you should expect 2597 fps with the 175's assuming the same pressure. However, it sounds like the 168 grain load was over pressure, so the 2537 fps with the...
