We know a 105 can get close to 3000 fps from a 243 for comparison. The HPBT has a .530 G1; the Hybrid is 0.547. A 105 Hybrid at 3000 fps seems like a lot for little if you can bear a Burger grin

3,097 FPS so far with RL-15

Shooting in wind with minimal recoil has been a great learning tool. I've seen a bud make some great shots with the same rifle, after struggling with more recoil from more "manly cartridges" at half the distance. Trigger time and round count make up for speed and BC to provide a path to shooting skill.

I've been late to the 223 & 75 AMAX party so might be preaching to the choirgrin



Same here, except its a Tikker....

Although I did get swooned by a RAR 17 Hummer that'll get SWFA'ed. Load development should be cake.....
