    6mm Dasher

    What are your goals? If PRS, shoot 30.8 of varget under a 105 hybrid jumped .010" from the lands and go have fun. It will be well under 1/2MOA, about 2800 fps, and your time will be better spent practicing than trying every possible combination. The rifle will be competitive and low recoiling

    300 Norma Mag

    Picked up an MRAD in 300 NM (26" 1-8") and have been put just under 100 rounds through it so far. 245 Berger LRHT 76gr H1000 Fed210M Lapua Brass 2700 fps and 5-6 fps SD .6-.9 MOA 10 shot groups. Super mild load just to limit recoil and learn to shoot the gun (used to a 23 lb 6 dasher!) but...

    6mm Dasher

    In both my 22 creed shooting 62 eld-vts and my 6 dasher shooting 105 hybrids Varget shot better. The 22 creed was .8-.9 MOA with N150 and .6-.7 MOA with varget. The 6 Dasher was .4-.5 MOA with N150 (3, 10 shot groups) and the varget was .25-.35 MOA (3, 10 shot groups). SDs are 3-4 fps with both...

    6mm Dasher

    I did a back to back with N150 and Varget and N150 gave me higher velocity/pressure at a lower charge. 30.8 varget with a 105 gave 2820 and 30.5 gr of N150 gave me 2840. With N140 be careful, dont assume its 1:1 with Varget

    Berger 105 Hybrid Target VS Hornady 105 Aeromatch: PART 1 - Dimensional Consistency

    Likely the final update from me on these. I shot both bullets with the exact same load at 633 and 979 yards on Saturday, with some interesting observations. The big one is that at least for this barrel, I can go from Berger to Hornady, but not Hornady to Berger. You will see in the table below...

    Berger 105 Hybrid Target VS Hornady 105 Aeromatch: PART 1 - Dimensional Consistency

    That could be, with Varget they were within 7 fps average, and i shot the Hornady second, but it could be that the barrel is speeding up already and gaining 10-20 fps per string.

    Berger 105 Hybrid Target VS Hornady 105 Aeromatch: PART 1 - Dimensional Consistency

    Got a chance to do some shooting today. Unfortunately with the January ND weather along with working out kinks in a new rifle things didn't quite go to plan. I only had time to shoot the 105 hybrid and 105 Aeromatch with Varget and N150, and the Varget test didn't quite go to plan as I had some...

    Berger 105 Hybrid Target VS Hornady 105 Aeromatch: PART 1 - Dimensional Consistency

    I just ordered another 2000 105 hybrids, no promise I will get to it anytime soon but I will definitely get around to measuring them.

    Berger 105 Hybrid Target VS Hornady 105 Aeromatch: PART 1 - Dimensional Consistency

    Just picked up my 6 Dasher barrels yesterday, going to try to get a bunch of shooting done on Saturday. Going to change it up a bit though, and do 2, 10 round round groups of Aeromatch 105, 105 hyb, 109 LRHT, and 110 SMK with varget and N150 with each bullet. After this test I will continue to...

    Berger 105 Hybrid Target VS Hornady 105 Aeromatch: PART 1 - Dimensional Consistency

    That is a good point, I knew something felt off when making these. I just updated the graphs and switched the colors.

    Berger 105 Hybrid Target VS Hornady 105 Aeromatch: PART 1 - Dimensional Consistency

    After being so wildly impressed with the 105 Berger Hybrids in my 6 Dasher last competition season, and disappointed in the Hornady options I had tried, I was excited to see the Aeromatch line announced recently. This gives us a great opportunity to see if Berger has something special in their...

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    A review of the 105 aeromatch vs the 105 hybrid is coming soon. Dimensional consistency first and then a large (300 shot combined) accuracy test once my gunsmith gets this next dasher barrel spun up.
