Gunwerks LR 1000 7mm LRM pushing Berger Hybrid 180 @3054 G7 5.5-22x50 scope Atlas bipod Group was shot prone off rear bag and atlas bipod with a 5-8 quartering L to R wind This was shot with a witness so no BS here

The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

I think with a little load development you might be able to get rid of some of that vertical�. lol! Nice shooting.

Nice shooting. Those 7-LRM's are looking very interesting.

I was being a smart ass. Sub 1" vertical at 800 is pretty amazing.

Great group bro!
How does it do from field positions?

Great group bro!
How does it do from field positions? This was shot prone off the ground with the atlas bipod and a rear support. It doesn't get any more field position than that.

Going to use the hybrids for hunting?
I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.

Tony, From what I've read and from the people I know who have used them, they kill but act more like a Target VLD. Alan

I cut a 105VLD and 105 Hybrid and the jackets were almost identical. The hybrid did have more base. The main difference was in the nose cavity length.

FWIW, I thought I would use Berger 6mm 105 grain target hybrids for hunting whitetail using a 6mm Remington AI, muzzel velocity was 3050 fps.
Placed some plastic 1 gallon milk jugs filled with water at 100 and 500 yards and shot them to make sure that the target bullet would show some expansion.
At 100 yards the jug was ripped apart with a very impressive spray of water.
At 500 yards the bullets penciled thru, no destruction of the jug, just little entry and exit holes. Did not even tip the jug over, leading me to believe the bullet expanded little to none.
They are accurate bullets with an impressive BC but I would not shoot game with them. I do not see any hybrid bullets listed on Berger's site for hunting.
If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning
