Question about the new 6 mm Berger Hybrid

[VaRandy]

I shoot 6.5 hybrids now and love them, I bought some 6mm Hybrids but have not loaded any yet, I notice Berger says a 1 in 7 twist is ideal but I have a 1 in 8 twist. On the other hand I am pushing them at 3300. Shouldn't my rpm range be quite adequate to increase the spin rate.

Also are any of them blowing up at higher speeds? Any information helpful.

8 twist is fine. Berger decided to round down in their twist recommendations so in certain conditions (low velocity, sea level, cold weather) a 7.7 twist might be the "ideal". Most guys are running 8.

Ive never owned anything faster than an 8, and find them to shoot just fine.

used hybrids extensively in a 6 dasher at 600yd Fclass in a 1/8 twist with excellent results, same in a 6 creed with 1/8.

Yup, Berger figures if your at sea level you need say a 7.8 (or whatever twist) so they round down to the next whole number 1:7 (sorta dumb)
If you run your perimeters in bergers stability calculator at 3000ft alt 3000fps I think it says 1:8 is ideal. Load um up!

I run the Berger 105 in a 6 XC at 12ft ASL with an 8 twist, no problems at all.
