I know by throwing my 2 cents on here, it's just my 2 cents, and that may be all its worth for you guys, but have at it!
I agree that when the first Hybrid came out, there was a B.C. calculation error. Mind you that this was the first Hybrid bullet of its kind, and it just happened to be the 338 cal that were talking about. Also to say that since then the other Hybrids have been spot on with their B.C. Calculations the best I know of?
Strictly from my experience and nothing more, I can tell you that I get to shoot all of these calibers, and most all these bullets we are all talking about a ton. Even in the last two months I have traveled to New Zealand with Eric Stecker from Berger Bullets, and Africa as well. Putting down a combined total of approx 100 animals testing bullets in New Zealand. Then to Africa for another 20 animals at distances over 1100 yards on first shot kills. We did this with a combined testing of both VLD's and Hybrids varying across the board in speed.
I can also tell you that Berger has given me there endorsement to be their new spokesperson. I am now doing all of there media filming and testing. This media content will be available in the next two weeks for everyone's information and to look over for product reviews and technical questions.
The point is, I eat, and sleep Berger Bullets lately! And I can tell you these bullets all do jobs differently based on their retained velocity and weight. Throw out how they get to target, that's up to the shooter. There is no doubt that all of these calibers and bullets and weights we have thrown in this conversation will kill at 1k. We have done it several times with repeatable performance. It is just what a guy is comfortable with, and what is going to give him the confidence in the field to competently make a 1k shot on a animal. I just thought it would be fun to throw in some fun facts based on the numbers, but in the end, Dead is dead! So I say go with whats going to get you to the goal your trying to achieve, Then get to the range and practice, practice, and when your tired, practice some more!!!
