Apparently, this is a pretty new offering (I don't even see it listed on their website). Does anyone have any experience with them?
7mm Berger 175 xld anyone?

I've been shooting them for 2+ years, they are now discontinued. If you're going to buy, buy enough to shoot your barrel out.
They were a heck of a bullet, very comparable numbers to the 180 hybrid, but not jump tolerant. They never did catch on with most shooters as the hybrid was released shortly afterwards.

That seems like a real shame, I would figure the little bit of extra velocity with an identical BC would have been very appealing.

Actually compared to the 180 hybrid, velocities are about identical, even though the hybrid has more bearing surface. When my throat was gone on my first saum, I switched to the 180, gained 110fps, more a result of powder change, than bullet, but still.
Red goat,
I'm sure it was sales, you could always find this bullet, and there never was much publicity about it, or anyone using it.
