[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1198248, member: 87243"] I haven't used the 130 hybrid, but I run the 140 hybrid. I'm shooting a Krieger 30" 1 in 8 twist, chambered in .260 AI, and the 140's are going 2975 out of my rifle. When I run the ballistics through my app, assuming I could get the 130 going 3075 fps, @ 1000yds w/10mph crosswind, the 130's data is as follows: 20fps LESS than 140 103 ft lbs LESS energy than 140 0.7 LESS elevation adjustment (moa) than 140 0.4 MORE windage adjustment (moa) than 140 So, the only place the 130 outperforms the 140 is elevation, which is probably the least important of those 4 ballistics in long range shooting. Even if I could get the 130 going 3125fps, it still his .2 MOA more wind, 63 less ft lbs, and is only going 17 fps faster at 1000. It does have 1.5 MOA less elevation, but again, elevation is less important. Where it could make the difference, is if you are limited in seating depth. A 140 may outperform the 130 in the same gun, but it also needs to shoot good. My load with the 140 is .030" off the lands, because that is the longest I can load it (2.880") and have it fit in my Wyatts detach mag, but it shoots very well, holding half MOA out to 1000. The 130 however, is designed to be loaded where you have COAL limitations. So, if it were me, I would use the 140's, UNLESS you are limited in COAL, already tried the 140's, and can't get them to shoot. Then I would probably try the 130's. [/QUOTE]
