[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 606293, member: 14"] The only 7mm bullets I'm aware of with a better BC than the 180gn Hybrids are the 189gn Cautericio and the 200gn Wildcat, both with about a .360 G7 BC verses the Hybrids .345. There are others with higher claimed BC's, but they are somewhat suspect. No reputable tester has put them anywhere near manufacturers claims. While the 189gn Caut. does offer a slight ballistic advantage as you can still push it only 100 fps slower than the Hybrid, the 200gn Wildcat does not. You just can't push it fast enough. I used them both quite a bit until the Hybrid came out, and the 200gn from Richard in particular was a very accurate bullet, and not fussy to get to shoot, with great terminal performance. But now the Hybrid is just as accurate and easy to get to shoot, and better ballistically due to the extra 200 fps of velocity. A thin jacketed hunting Hybrid will be ok for the smaller 7mm's but I'd rather have the thicker jacket when we're pushing them over 3400fps. I know the thin jackets won't take that for long!
