Not shooting competitions, but would like to get the most out of my creedmoor over 1k yards.

Is there a noticeable advantage to the 144 LRHT? I've had a number of chances to grab the 140s over the past couple months. I've had no such luck with the 144s.

I can wait a month or two before I need bullets again.

Is it realistic to wait for the 144s to come in stock or should I take the next opportunity at the 140s?
 
Well, the LR Hybrids have been nowhere to be seen for a while. I like them better than the 140s, but if I was within a couple months of being out I would want a backup.
 
I run the Berger 140 hybrids at 2800 FPS under .5 MOA. I actually dropped my load to be easier on the brass. The 140s work well for me, but I have not tried anything else.
 
So I'm curious about people who have shot both the 140 and 144, what are your opinions of the two. I've got a rifle that really does not like 144s, and seems to like 140s, and I'm just wondering if the 144s are not shooting as well as the 140s did across the board, or if it's just my rifle?
