[QUOTE="Speck, post: 718149, member: 41921"] I shoot the 185 Berger Hybrids and 185 Juggernauts out of my custom FTR rifle. The matches I shoot are 600 yards but I have also shot it out to 1000 yards and it does very well. I'm running a 28 inch Krieger barrel (11 twist). I'm using Alliant Power Pro 2000MR powder, CCI BR2 primers, Lapua Brass and my rifle has a match chamber. My load is 47.6 gr (same charge for both bullets) loaded 2.210 from base to ogive for the hybrid and 2.230 base to ogive for the Juggernaut. This load is safe in my rifle, primers and brass look good but if you try it work up to it as it might be hot in yours. Both bullets give me right at 2800 ftps. with ES of 9 when chronographed in the summer. I'm also in the process of working up a load for the 200gr hybrids and so far its impressive but only shot at 100 yards so far. 46.2 gr is giving me 2660 ftps. (70 degree temp) and is shooting 5 shot groups in one ragged hole with ES of 8. Never shot the 185 VLD in this rifle but im sure the powder charge wouldn't be far off of the hybrid/juggernaut charge.
