I for the life of me cannot find any berger 105 hybrids. Anyone have any luck with the 105 lapuas, 105 AMAX, or 105 hornady HPBTs?

Sunday it was the 105 Hornady HPBTs, today it was the Hybrids.
The 105gr Hornady HPBT does just fine for me.
I shoot the 105 AMAX, 105 hornady HPBT and the Berger 105 VLD's and the performance is very similar under 1K
Im shooting the 105VLDS targets and hunting work just fine for me
The 105grn A-max, Berger Hunting VLD and Berger Hybrids all work very well.

I've had good luck with the Berger hybrids, 105 lapua's and also the 115 DTACS. They all shoot well. The AMAX's didn't shoot well for me.

Stick with Hybrids. Fly so straight you don't need luck.
I to have had great luck with 105 amax as well as 115 dtac coated and non-coated with H4350 so much so that I quit looking for other options. Pretty much stick with the 105 amax for sheer availablity and they are pushing about 3050 FPS out of a custom beanland .243. Its my go to gun for shooting about any small critter.
105 Hornady BTHPs and Sierra 107SMK's shoot great out of my 6XC's.
I haven't found a 6mm in 105 to 107 gr that didn't shoot lights out. i just buy whatever i can find and subsitute, pretty simple.
Im running 115's at 3000 in my 6x47 but they are hard to get right now.
A wise man just spoke.
Bruno's Shooters Supply has the Bergers in stock.
105 A-max and 107 SMK in 6BR. Haven't tried hybrids yet.
I can't complain about the perfomance of the 107smk (6-284), not the most impressive kid on the block but it's still working well.

Lester is raping folks these days. I'm a fan of capitalism, but I also respect the folks in the industry that respect the client base that built their businesses enough that they aren't choosing short term profiteering off the changes of the climate.
So they're not cheap then are they?
awesome,
thank you. I hate paying retail since I work in the industry but at this point i'm not going to complain.
Not much love for the 105gr Hunting VLD...?
Perhaps a stupid question, but are the 6mm Hybrids really that much easier to tune than VLDs?

It's not so much the tuning as the results the Hybrids give at 1K.

What the hell are you talking about? Bruno's price is $31.57/box -that's .21 LESS than Powder Valley(who has been out of stock for 2months), who has been Berger's low-price leader. The Hybrid's have been priced, on average, at $32/box since their introduction.
Of course they're more than you pay for Amaxs and SMKs - they perform better in match use!

Anyone tried the 105 Barnes Match Burners?
I witnessed one hell of 5 shot 1k yard group with them out of a 6X47. Since watching that I have been determined to try them, but have yet to do so..... I do have 100 on the way though.

And you've bought how many from Bruno's recently at that price?
I also shoot the hybrid in my 243 pushed by h4350 and it does great. Try to get a hold of Precision Tactical, LAC on here I bought 1k hybrids from him a while back when he did a group buy, he might be able to get some for you.

Just ordered 7 boxes, sport. I hadn't known he'd gotten them back in stock.
Think I've shot around 3,000 of them, not counting the 300 I received for advance testing.

KS44, I'll have to eat crow on the Bergers then. I do know Bruno's has hiked prices across the board on many other components lately ($59.95 for 1K Fed or Win standard primers, $189 for 8# H4350, etc) and that's left a bad taste in my mouth.
At least the bad taste of inserting my foot will change it a little...

I agree. I use Wolf small rifle magnums in a lot of my rifles. I was recently looking around for some, and Bruno's was the only place that had them. They were also more than double the price of normal retail...
"Sport"...heh heh, that's cute by the way.
And now back to the regularly scheduled topic, sorry for the sidetrack.
