Berger Hybrid Target Bullets

Has anyone used the 6mm or 6.5mm for hunting? Very interested in feedback. Thank you
 
purchased a Gunwerks nexus in 7mm prc. It's a very nice gun. I ordered some hunting bullets for it through Gunwerks. They sent Berger 180 gr Hybrid Target bullets. When I asked them about using the Target Bullets for hunting they said they actually work better because they are more accurate. Any thoughts on this. Im nervous to take a chance on big game with these. Berger bullets advises against it.
I have used Berger 180gr Hybrids for the past 12 years for deer, elk, moose, eland, crocodile and other African game with great success. Accuracy and penetration has been excellent. As a hunter, my success has been due to the bullet's construction, shot placement at high shoulder or lungs and a lot of shooting practice. Although all shooters have an opinion regarding the ideal bullet, my experience with Bergen's 180 Hybrids justifies my choice…No need to worry about the 180's performance.
 
I have the 208gr LRTH loaded in my 300 win mag for elk. I haven't used them on one yet, but I have taken/been there on 3 cow elk kills with Berger 135gr HVLD (hunting bullets) They worked well, and the HVLD have thinner jackets than the LRTH.

I have killed another cow elk with 115gr HVLD and a mulie with the 135gr HVLD. Bergers work. Just don't shoulder shoot animals on purpose with them.

Both of these bulls were shot within seconds of each other with 180 Hybrids directly through the front shoulders, on purpose. Just like everything else for the last decade somehow the bullets didn't just bounce off.
