Berger Hybrid 140g 6.5MM

I have been loading the Hornady Amax 140g 6.5 Creedmoor however it has been impossible to find the AMAX. I purchased 1000 of they Berger Hybrid bullets and have two questions.

1) Do you think I will need to change anything about my current load for this new bullet? (my current load using the AMAX bullet is very accurate).

2) I noticed on the box they say not for hunting. Out of curiosity why is this? My understanding is the AMAX bullet could be used for hunting as well as target shooting.

Thanks guys!

Your current load should be pretty close. They are easy to tune and perform really well down range. They say not for hunting, because Berger has not put lots time testing them on game. Berger says the Hybrid jackets are thicker, but they sure seem to do great on game (deer) so far.
