[QUOTE="eric1115, post: 1803265, member: 103895"] In a 9.5 twist, lowest/coldest that I'm going to be shooting, Berger's stability calculator puts me at 1.47 sg with a .345 adjusted BC with the 180 hybrid. The 180 VLD hunting is 1.54 sg with identical BC. I'm new to handloading (going to load a bunch of .308 and .223 before I start loading for my 7mm RM). I like the idea of the hybrid being more forgiving on seating depth/jump, and am so close to the line between marginal and full stability. Would you have any qualms about running the 180 hybrid under these conditions? Or would you take full stability and potentially more sensitivity to seating depth? It would be a do-all load, I have steel as far as I can imagine shooting (1400+) and as of right now I'm confident shooting under 600 on game (antelope to elk, no big bears on the menu for me). Thanks! [/QUOTE]
