Applied Ballistics Munitions has announced the release of their 300 Winchester Magnum 215gr Hybrid Target Mission Ready round. This round is loaded with the Berger 30 Caliber 215gr Hybrid Target bullet for maximum BC. The hybrid ogive profile of this bullet was developed by their Chief Ballistician, Bryan Litz. This unique ogive profile combines the streamlined design of a secant ogive with a traditional tangent ogive. The 215gr is an exciting design, as it allows them to load a high BC bullet into factory ammunition that shoots well out of various rifle platforms with a 1:9" twist rate or faster.

In preparation for the release of this round, ABM Ammo partnered with LongRangeOnly.com for extensive field testing.

"What can I say bad about this ammo? It's passed every one of the tests above my expectations," says Long Range Only Editor, Jeff Brozovich.

Jeff did the initial testing and got some great results from this ammunition. He took this round through the gauntlet of testing by weighing it, measuring it, and he also did some short range and long range shooting with it. He is a seasoned handloader and while measuring the seating depth of this loaded ammunition he stated he was very impressed and it was "as close as I could probably load them."

In 2011, Bryan created Applied Ballistics Munitions to fill a growing need for quality ammunition in the target competition and sniper community. ABM quickly became known within the long range shooting world as the best ammunition available in the market. Excited about the possibilities of creating ammunition that could fill needs in the hunting community as well, Berger Bullets purchased ABM from Bryan in 2013 on the condition that he would continue his work in research, development, and testing of all their ammo.

Berger has recently changed some of our twist rate recommendations for our bullets based on some testing from Bryan. Berger Bullets Twist Rate Recommendations by Eric Stecker & Bryan Litz | Berger Bullets. The 1:9" recommendation here is to ensure maximum stability with an SG of 1.5 or greater in nearly any situation. A 1:10" twist can shoot the heavier bullets, but they may not be optimally stabilized.

We have a calculator where you can plug in your specific variables for your setup: Twist Rate Stability Calculator | Berger Bullets

These new twist recommendations fall into the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" category. If you are seeing good results currently, then keep doing what you are doing. When its time for a new barrel, its some information you can take into account.
 
Out of curiosity, Anyone out there ever try these in a Sendero Sfll? Just wondering if they would cycle through or are they too long? I realize most guys have custom guns with extended magazine boxes but, would love to know.

According the the oal measurements that Broz got during testing, they will fit fine in a factory rem magazine.
 
I guess I miss represented, I'm running hand loads with the 215's. But they are grouping good, still have some little tweaking to do.
