Berger 109 hybrid for sale?

I haven’t had any issues. Finishing top pack in local matches with them.

Not sure who is using them in two day matches doing well. I’m sure someone is.
 
They are working really well for me. Had this same conversation with my gunsmith today and his theory was that you need to spin the fast and drive them. I am pushing them at 3,100 through a 7.5 twist barrel. Maybe he is right?
 
I've shot 3 different lots
some lots are super jump sensitive

no more or less than any other pointed bullet

but some lots do required a little more seating depth tuning, compared to other bullets(like 105 hybrids)

for now, not sure they are worth the 20% premium over 105's
 
You don’t need to spin them fast or drive them.

I run 2800-2950 depending on which rifle.

Did you see a noticeable improvement over the 105's?

I'm too deep at this point to switch over, there's a cabinet full of 105's in the basement somewhere. But maybe people aren't realizing the benefit of the 109's given the extra cost?
 
I tried the 109's, they are great but could not bump the 110 Atip out....
Same load they are 70 fps faster than Atip. I did my testing @1000.
