New Berger Long Range Hybrid target projectiles - Any feedback?

Just saw these available in 6.5 CM in 144 grain
Has anybody used these for hunting?
How is their accuracy? What powder and load?
Do you like them better than ELDX? If so why?

Dude I'm pretty certain the specs were just released 2 days ago, they're still shipping to vendors.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm on a waiting list now.

Following.

I have a few boxes of them. Kinda forgot I had them, thanks for the reminder

Was wondering if anyone has any report on terminal ballistics with say the 208 or the 220 grain .308 Berger long range hybrid pills!
Was wanting to buy some 230 hybrids but sold out, but they do have the 220 hybrid

the 6.5mm 144 LR Hyb is murder on game. I do open up the tips with a #60 wire bit, but holy heck, they work right now!

Ya it looked liked the hollow point was smaller with the "new" technology, the 220 grain LR Hybrids and the 215 hybrids seem identical! So I figured the 220s would work.....until I could try the 230s

I have shot the 230s in my 300 RUM but to get them to shoot good I was single feeding. They will really fly well but I just did not like the single feeding. I switched over to some 220 ELDX bullets and get really good results at mag length but I would like to try the 220s bergers also if I can get them to shoot at mag length. I think I was running RL 33 or retumbo with the 230's. With the 220 I am running RL26 with good speed. Need to get this thing out and do some shooting.

The 230s are the regular Hybrid, not the MRT LR Hybrids. I shoot the 230s in my RUM also. Sledgehammers on game.

agreed, that's why I was wondering if anyone had used the 220s on game
