Berger Hybrid Target Bullets

[Elkwhite]

purchased a Gunwerks nexus in 7mm prc. Its 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.

180 Hybrid Targets are killing machines. @WeiserBucks has killed a few animals with them….

I had great results with 153gr last year on whitetails, from 80 to about 385.
Starting MV right at 3000.
One was a very long angle on a 200lb buck.

Welcome to LRH, and enjoy! They are correct; those Hybrids from Berger are bad-arse medicine. Berger is probably against recommending them for hunting because they are being marketed as target bullets, but end-users have used them for many years.

Are you in Butte, as in 406?

Hybrid is my overall favorite hunting bullet. Shoot em up!

Much like the ELD series the M doesn't stand for Match it stands for Murder.
Or it should cause they just kill dead

I use the same bullet form my gunwerks 7saum. It worked great for two mule deers and an antelope.

Yep, they kill well, however the OTM is NOT what I recommend for hunting any animal…

Hybrid target/hunting work very well.

Cheers.
