I am very dissapointed with Berger bullets regarding the 338 hybrid bullet.

[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 401074, member: 999"] I can't for the life of me figure out why folks think that they've got to have a bullet moving at the speed of friggin light!! Fifty years ago I shot with the All-Army Rifle Team out of Ft. Benning, Ga. Our LR rifles for certain events were 30x338s shooting the 220 gr. SHPMK and even though we could have pushed those bullets faster....our best accuracy was obtained at around 2850 fps! It doesn't do much good to 'blow air' by your target; accuracy is where it's at and generally from my experience the best accuracy is generally a speed that is under a max loading configuration!! Maybe I'm just old and dumber than shxt!!:cool::rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
