Different BC on box’s of Berger 140 hybrids

What’s up with this? Did Berger change the line at some point?

Yup, I believe the change was around 2017.

Whole new bullet design or did they tweak the numbers?

They may have changed how they calculate BC

I had the same thing, different caliber. I called Berger and was told it was just an updated BC. No change in the bullet.

So why the different min recommended twist?

Maybe because they have a lot better data now with Doppler testing?
Interestingly the quite long 7mm 190LRHT has 1-9 listed.

looking at my old data (from about 5-6 years ago) I was using a G7 almost identical to the new G7 listed.

Berger updated based on new data. This was straight from the horse's mouth.

Thanks guys, was hoping the 2 boxes would fly just about the same. Seems like they will
