Years ago I was talking to some of my 1000 BR buddies who were doing the 2000 - 3000 groundhog thing. This was back before Berger had the "Hybrids". They shot the 240 SMK because it transitioned into the subsonic speeds without a bunch of drama. They were NOT shooting the bigger (30-378 sized stuff) cases...... but 308 and 30-06 sized stuff. Would that statement be true today, or do the Berger Hybrids handle the ride better? I am thinking about shooting some 2000 yard comps and have a bunch of 215 and 230 Hybrids (300 WBY) along with a bunch of 240 SMK's. I Also have an EDGE in a hunting platform that runs the 300 Bergers at 2960 with RL33. I have plinked at these ranges at rocks etc.....but never on paper.
I am trying to come up with ways to NOT SPEND MORE MONEY. It would be great to chamber up a 33/37 XC tube, but with that comes brass, dies. bullets, new bolt, etc.... Just cant swing it at this time .
Thanks,
Tod
