Anyone have any real life scenarios between these two bullets, shooting a Cooper 7mm RM 26" tube, 1:9 twist, used the Hybrids, worked well, getting 2925 with 70gr of retumbo, no pressure signs, 3/4" groups @ 100yrds, I think I can play around to tighten groups up a bit. Saw the Nosler and wondered what anyone can tell me about them, as far as grouping and real life hunting performances! BC's on both look great! Also opinions between 180 VLD vs 180 Hybrid for hunting! thanks in advance for help!
 
BC's on the Nosler are inflated...

In my testing out of my rifles my B.C's never match the manufacturers advertised B.C's including Berger. Some are higher and some are lower. Barrel and twist differences I am sure have a lot to do with it. I even noticed that Berger had to lower the B.C. on their 7mm 168 CH after Bryan tested them. They went from .610 to .566 so it happens to all of them and unless they all use dopler radars or shoot to transonic the B.C.s will be wrong.

There is a very good chance the BC is going to be considerably higher out "your" rifles with the Berger.

Sorry Mudd. I meant to quote the OP. I haven't had any coffee yet....
