Help me understand hunting with Berger bullets!

[eoperator]

Nothing to understand with BURGER bullets.... they are as worst as Barnes X

go with a Nosler AB or ABLR if your shots are mostly over 300.... if not a good old nosler PT for anything below 300yds.
Sierra GMK or TMK solid options too.

Any experiences with the BT Targets? Federal has the 6 Arc in 108gr. Lots of talk on the Hybrids and Hunters but haven’t found much on the BT Target.

6 mm 108 Grain BT Target Rifle Bullet

Berger 6 mm Boat Tail Target Bullets are often used by competitve shooters who seek the highest accuracy possible. Berger 6 mm Boat Tail Target bullets are match-grade quality and utilize a tangent ogive bullet design which makes these very easy to load, tune and shoot.

I bought 2 boxes of the loaded Federal 6mm ARC Berger loads today. I'll try them out after I get them.

Hybrids seem to work “ok”.

300 PRC. 215 hybrid. 330 yards.

The more i shoot Bergers, the more I prefer them over all others. In my experience, they are really easy to find an accurate load for too.

Love those holes!

So are the 180 hybrid target bullets good to use on elk and smaller game or do I try to track down 175 elite hunters? They seem to be* impossible to find right now. Trying to work a load up for a 7prc. I’ve tried the 180 ELDM but my rifle doesn’t seem to like them for some reason. Thanks for all the info on here!

180 HT are killers for sure,
Here are some 175s to buy though,

Shot a Nilgai at the shoulder, 80 yards, 300 NMI 230 HT @2900 fps, dropped dead at 20 yards, devastating performance.

Another exit from a 215 @ 2600 impact velocity. Very large white tail doe. I drilled out the tips on these to initiate expansion a little sooner. This looks worse than it really is. It performed well and didn't ruin much meat.

Have you had a chance to shoot these?

 

[glock233]

7 PRC with 180 hybrid target is a great setup for killing anything in North America. Too much gun really, but it’s more than sufficient.

Not yet, between holiday's and the current below zero weather I've not shot much this month. 70 rounds from a 22 ARC project is all I've shot. Maybe next week since it will be in the 20's again.
