I helped my bud's son develop a load with the 215gr Hybrid for his '06 a few weeks ago. It shot damn well out to 500y in the wind... 0.696 G1. We went to 800y but there were some scope/dope issues that day. The Berger wasn't on my radar but the BC is impressive. I think he likes to change bullets like underwear

155 scenar's for blood letting... 178 BTHP Hornies for paper and long range steel... I've seen a lot of s-h-i-t fall to a 175 SMK also...
If you have RL-17 it'll get the 208' s you have rollin'... Varget, RL-15 or 4064 on the 155's and Pro-2000 MR on the 175's/178's...
Or so I've read...

The Hybrids from 185 up sure look good, but I don't have experience with them. If you go 208 Amax and 155 Scenar, you may just stop there. Can't think of two that would do better.

I'm a big fan of the Berger VLDs, in any weight I have shot them, 155, 168, and 175. I've got a 10 shot group with 168gr VLDs that went .662 MOA. I've killed a bunch of stuff with 155gr VLDs and they just electrocute stuff.
The 155gr Scenars are working very well. Seem to group a little better than the same weight VLDs for me. I've only shot one pig with them but they seem like they are a little harder and penetrate better than the VLDs, but maybe not as dramatic kills. The sow, a little under 200 pounds made it about 100 yards or so after the hit. I've never had them go more than a few feet after hit with a VLD.
175gr SMKs shoot great, and I have killed a few critters with them, but was not terribly impressed with how quickly they kill in comparison to other bullets I have used.

GFY.... Try this: I pissed in the Missouri too many times catfishing.... I have three gallons of Rye and two fifths of Schwartzhog in the frezzer; I just need to remember not to drink it like its beer or its waking to sunburn, mosquito bites and that damn dew on the lawn....

I have no choice but to delve back into the world of 30 cals.
I have some 208 Gay Max. And some 190 Sierra MatchKings.
What else do I need to try?
Travis My LTR seems ambivilent about the Amaxs and the Scenars and the Matchkings (with Varget and BLC-2). Seems to stick them in nice 1 1/2" clusters time and again. Shove some 165gr BT down it's bore though, and it goes sub-MOA every time. Go figure.... Kaiser Norton

For many years the 308 was my deer gun, back when I owned my M77 RL (now a 250 AI..) it only saw the 165 gr Hornady and just worked. Can't see a need for the 30-06 frankly...

Thanks to all.
I will check locally for some Boogers. And I will order me some Scenars. Then I will be just like scenarshooter, only without the trophies...

We'll see.

Mike What did they clock? Can you feed them from the mag? Travis Don't have the means to clock them,supposed to be around 1K. Feed through my polymer mags okay. The metal stock 10 rounder,not so much. Nothing feeds out of that 10 rounder worth a sh*t!!

I have about 5lbs of it.
Stores around here got a bunch in a while back. Have not seen it since.
