Anybody worked up loads with both? How do they compare in accuracy and down range ballistics?

Thanks,

John

I’ve shot plenty of the Berger’s. They are awesome

I shoot and like the AR hybrids too. Absolute lasers in my match gun. Just thought if the new Sierras will perform as well and cost a bit less, then win/win.

Have 500 of the Sierras coming now, so I’ll let you know.

Used the 130 hybrids in a 260 and 6.5x47 extremely accurate in both .2 -.3 inch groups in both rifles .haven't try the Sierra yet
 
Substituted the 130gr MK with no other changes for the 130gr AR Hybrid in a few rounds and tried them at 420. Group size for the Matchkings was almost identical to the AR Hybrid, maybe a hair smaller and they hit about .1 mil higher. A quick 3 round group to verify zero was same at 100 went about .4” and had exact same POI as AR Hybrid. I think they’re going to work.
