Want to load Berger 130gr AR hybrid

[Kyskeet]

I've been loading 142gr SMKs for a couple years and would like to try 130 Berger hybrids. Would like to hear your experiences. By the way it's for 6.5 Creedmoor in Lapua brass

I run the 130 hybrids because it was the closest thing to the Prime 130 in case I ever forget to load for a match. I have shot out to 1300 yards no problem. Personal best 3 for 3 at near 1300 yards. It shoots awesome and fast so I have not gone to 140s yet. It does seem to wear my barrel a little faster. at 1000 rounds I am having to load my bullets .018 more to put it back to where it was when i first measure my jump.

I have good luck with the 130s in my 6.5. I use prime brass and Varget. Get around 2780 from a 18” barrel

Mine is
H4350 43.6gr
Lapua Brass
Federal Match primer
130 hybrid loaded to .015 off the lands
24 inch bartlien barrel

I get constant 2900fps
SD3
ES9

at long range its very predictable. As long I am pushing it fast it seems to fight the wind pretty well.

Prime 130gr ammo uses the Norma Golden Target HPBT Bullet and their brass is made by Norma. I don't know the powder. However, i use H4350 (43.5) in Norma brass (coal: 2.760) and getting MV 2888 with SD's of 3.3. shooting a Savage 10BA Stealth, 24".
