Shot a match (600 prone w/sling & irons) with my 6HAGAR spacegun, came away with the same impression. These bullets are every bit as fine a product as Berger’s other 6mm bullets & may very well be easier to “tune” loads for.

Editor: Boyd’s point is well-taken. It goes without saying that, to produce 10-shot half-MOA groups while supporting a rifle only with your arms (and attached sling), you have to start with a very accurate rifle, and an extremely accurate load. That said, many of us are anxious to see how the new 105gr Hybrids perform at 300, 600, and 1000 yards when shot from the bench from a good rest.

Haven’t rung them out at 600yds yet but the different shape and higher BC should work well.
Like Robert, I found them to shoot as well or inside of the VLDs during 100yd testing.
However, they did not as shoot well when jumped. At -.020 they open up a small amount, at -.040 it gets bigger and so on.
Not a big deal to me but I assume Berger had hoped that these would work as well when jumped significant amounts such as when using a magazine.

Mr. Whitley, I have looked at your reamer print and note that you are using a .272 neck, which used to be the old “No-Turn” stanard. The new Blue-Box Lapua brass has a slightly less than .013″ neck wall thickness.

Also, you don’t spec an extraction taper of half a thou on the necks either.

Your thoughts?
