From Berger;Hello!
I'm new to reloading. Do you mind explaining how and why hybrids are immune to seating depth? I think I may be wasting my time and powder. Thanks!
A Tangent Ogive (like our standard BTs) is less sensitive to seating depth but has more drag and a lower BC than a Secant Ogive of the same length. A Secant Ogive (like our standard VLDS) has a higher BC and lower drag than a traditional Tangent Ogive but can be quite sensitive to seating depth.
A hybrid takes the best of both.
