Berger .224 hybrids

Does anyone know why Berger has yet to release a .224 caliber hybrid other than the 77 OTM? It seems like this is the only caliber without a hybrid model in the popular heavy for caliber weights.

Best guess... diminishing returns for Berger. The lack of sufficient bump in BC and the overall R&D cost. There are already cheaper higher BC projos on the market in the .224 category. Again, purely speculating.

Valid point and makes since. It would be nice to have a non seating length option from them thou

The 77 OTM is not a hybrid design but just another take off of the SMK. Just like Nosler and Barnes do to this and other SMKs

Where the confusion I think is that the 6.5 130’s are a hybrid design and also list as Tactical so they have OTM attached to them as well.
