[QUOTE="GNERGY, post: 628075"] I applied for and received 2 boxes of Bergers 250gr Hybrid OTM Tactical for testing and here are my results. :) I like them. This pic should keep you interseted. The final tests were shot at 560 yds. the longest distance I can shoot at my range. This group was shot at that distance with 91.5grs of IMR 7828SSC at 3160 fps. It was sighter group for testing to get on target. [IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/GNERGY/bergertests017.jpg[/IMG] My rifle Rem 700 with a 30 inch Broughton tube 1:9.3 twist with a Muscle brake chambered and installed by Jim See @ Centershotrifles. Canjar set trigger EGW 20 moa base with 4 Burris Signiture Z rings Holding a Burris 8x-32x-50 Black Diamond Bobby Hart LRT stock Devcon bedded by ME. Bipod custom made by myself. [IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/GNERGY/100_0918.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/GNERGY/100_0919.jpg[/IMG] I decided to use powders that I already have that I used with the 225 gr Barnes TTSX testing. I don't know if this matters but Broughton says my barrel bore was .3385 so I have been using a little faster burning powders to slug up the bore ( so to speak ) The bullets have a G7 BC of .349 and a G1 BC of .682 I weighed them and out of 100 72 weighed 249.9grs 10 weighed 249.8grs 15 weighed 249.7grs 3 weighed 249.6grs I didn't go thru the trouble of measuring them, length or ogive, but I did notice the tip ( or hollow point ) on some of them was at an angle, not flat, but that didn't seam to matter in my tests. I have a friend that got a tool to make the tip of bullets flat or uniform on his 6.5mm Berger VLD's and did some tests and at 500 yds it didn't make any difference. ( and that gun would shoot 5/8th's inch groups at 500 yds all day long) Here is a pic of the bullets I have shot before 250 Nosler AB 250 Berger OTM 225 Barnes TTSX [IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/GNERGY/bergertests001.jpg[/IMG] TO BE CONTINUED Have to leave to go to work [/QUOTE]
