Hello LRH Friends, I am helping a friend develop a load for a Seekins PH2, 300 WM with Retumbo and Berger hybrid 215’s. We are starting off with new ADG brass and fed 215 primers. I know that H1000 might be the easiest button to push for this bullet/cartridge combo, but my friend has a good...

I have 500 of the same lot, $220 shipped. I have 185 of another lot, $90 shipped

hey all, ive been thinking of trying the 220gr SMK in the 30-06 with H4831sc and a 9 1/2 magnum primer. GRT says should be possible to get a bit over 2600fps. Has anyone tried these in a 30-06, all discussions i have found were for 220gr round nose bullets and people pushing them slow. any...

Any one have any Load data ranges for 168 gr Berger VLD hunting bullets for 300 WSM. Looking to creat some hand loads for my Tikka 300 WSM for whitetail and hog loaded over either H4831SC or H380. I will be loading in new Norma brass and CCI LR Mag primers. Berger web site only lists 180 gr...

I need some group thought/opinion. Shot an elk in CO this week and failed to recover the animal. Using a 7mm Sherman Short with 175gr Berger Hunter elite hunters @ 2925fps. Long story short, I got to 375 yards on a cow elk that was uphill at 17 degrees. Had plenty of time to run my...

I have a 6.5PRC shooting the Berger 156 @ 2970fps with sub 1/2'' @ 100yrds. Im using the SIG KILO2200BDX as my go to ballistics data for MOA adjustments. I have Strelok as a backup. My question, what is the true B.C. for this bullet? What would you enter into the data for the B.C. of this...

Does anyone know when Berger is going to start making/sending out 168gr. VLD Hunting bullets in 7mm .284 ???

Ive been meaning to do a write up about how my particular bullet behaved. I know there are quite a few threads regarding how bergers perform on game, alot of people report that they don't get exit wounds with them so I thought I would give a detailed account of how the 6.5 156 performed. The...

BTSP Gameking type bullet or Berger Hunting VLD’s? Typical shots on whitetail within 400yds at around 3000fps at the muzzle. I’m sure this will get mixed opinions. I’ve never used the old school Gameking but people swear by them and I have used Berger Hunting VLDs with mixed results which were...

So I finally got to dissecting a Berger Hybrid not too long ago. What I found confirms my long suspicion as well as others I've talked to about them and their performance. There's an enormous cavity below the open tip and before the core. Not all OTM style bullets are like this, at least not to...

I know there have been discussions about this bullet when it first came out and after some animals were taken with it, and I’ve read those reviews. I’m wondering if anyone has used these bullets continuously and could shared their overall opinion of performance on deer and elk. I’m considering...

I'm looking to put a 6.5 prc barrel on my savage and plan to shoot the 156 berger for big game purposes but alot of the barrel company's that i was interested in don't make lower than 8" twist, and berger states the 156 is marginally stabil in a 8" has anyone had really good results or really...

I tried a box of .300 Win Mag factory ammunition—Berger brand match grade 215 hybrid OTM ammunition in a new rifle bc I didn’t have time to work up a load. It shot really well. I’d like to reload this round and use it as a starting point. The main thing I’d like to know is what powder is used? I...

Hi everyone! I’m just firing up a YouTube channel for precision rifle and hunting related topics. This is the first video I did showing the basics to starting precision load development. Hopefully there’s some useful information in here for someone. This is the first of a series of videos on...

On bergers web page it lists a 1:10 twist rate. Is a 1:8 going to be too fast? 225 ELDM's are calling for a 1:9. Gun would either be a 300 prc or a 30 Sherman Magnum. Thoughts.

Hey all, I'm usually in the big game hunting conversations on this website, but my year round hobby is coyote hunting. I use a 204 ruger with benchmark, topped with a 39gr blitzking. This is the most fur friendly coyote load I've found, that still has knock down power at 400 yards, out of a 204...

When I resided in CO I used Noslers for both .270 and 7mm cal. had good results no issues, especially on shoulder hits. I have been using Berger 52 grain for coyotes with great results... Best accuracy on bench and hard drops on hit coyotes. I recently decided to start using Berger's for...

I just have a custom 28 Nosler built and was wanting to pick everyone brain a bit. I’ve read a ton of other threads on LRH as well as other forums but haven’t seen any super recent data with proven results. I know @rpierce has had a ton of experience and I have chatted with him a bit. Let me...
