Berger 6.5 creed 140 hybrid ammo ?
- Thread starter lte82
- Start date
140’s 3/4 moa
130’s under half moa. They shoot damg good.
Shot a mile for the first time a few months back and got on target with 130’s.
Usually shoot out to 700 yds and if I’m having a good day, 3 to 3.5 inch groups are common with the 130’s.
I can tighten things up a little with hand loads but not much.

140 Hybrid ammo shoots .5” or slightly better for me. Had 2 hits on an IPSC at 1820yds last week. Easily the best I’ve used.
My Criterion 1:8 prefit shoots the 130, 135 and 140s very well.
My Bartlein 1:8 shouldered barrel shoots the 135s and 140s damn well, less than .5 moa easily. I haven't shot the 130s with it yet.

Not to hijack this thread from the OP but don't think it's necessary to make a new one for my one question.
Are these the famous bullets I hear people saying are great for hunting? There seems to be a lot of hear/say about Berger bullet being excellent and don't know specifically which one they are referring to.

They have a line of hunting specific bullets. VLD Hunting, classic hunter, etc. Some of which you can get in factory loaded varieties. For instance, you can get Berger loaded ammo in 6.5CM with the 135 classic hunter.
Yup, I was asking specifically about factory loaded ammo. I will go look them up right now. Thanks for the reply.
Oh by the way, should I expect those to perform up to match grade accuracy?
Absolutely! The Berger bullets all perform extremely well!
Shot this ammo today in an MPA bolt action rifle at 400 yards, and it shot very well: Stacked them on top of each other on the large gong. Could hit the 3” gong most of the time. Vertical was very consistent. Minor wind reading issues gave 2-3” of horizontal. Got 2816 fps average from a 26” MPA barrel, with a minimum chamber spec. SD was remarkably good for factory ammo: 10.2 fps for 40 rounds. ES of 35 fps.
Had 2 blown blown primers before per box when i shot this ammo in hot summer temps (90 plus), but zero issues today (56 degrees). Probably a combo of a mim spec chamber and high ambient temperature and an incorrect firing pin size for SRP brass.
BTW: They were from all from the same batch.
Would i recommend this ammo? Yes. Also recommend you get your firing pin bushed if you want to shoot any SRP ammo. Plan to get that done soon.
