Re: 215 Berger Hybrid for F tr ?
i can't even imagine what my shoulder would feel like after shooting those in an 80+ shot match .... I guess I need more "tactical padding"

For what it would help, I have shot 210 Hunting VLDs out of my 18" savage. They would shoot half inch at 200yrds if I was doin good. I only got them to 2350ish if i remember right but again that's an 18" barrel and with a suppressor. They do thump pretty good without a can or a brake on the barrel.

IIRC, Bill Litz was doing okay with the Berger 215 Hybrid in Raton in September... had a minor train wreck due to a loose scope mount, but when everything was tight he was shooting pretty good.
The bits-n-pieces I gathered from talking with folks that should know... was that the 200 Hybrid is essentially a stretched version of the 185 Hybrid, which in turn traces its lineage to the 185 Juggernaut... good bullets, all. The 215 Hybrid is a whole 'nother animal - more a 'lite' version of the 230 than a heavier version of the 200, at least in terms of shape and whatnot.
As for padding... thats what a PAST recoil shield is for, right?

I have only shot 49 of the 215's so far and recoil is there but not that bad. More of a shove than a sharp hit on the shoulder. And it does tend to move you around more than 190gr bullets so body position and gun handling are important.
