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

[QUOTE="GMBshootingclubM60, post: 401490, member: 25313"] Remember that in a war, unlike hunting, the idea is to injure, not kill. An injured soldier takes lots of resources to move him and treat the injuries. The M60 was also likely to injure itself... mean time between major stoppage was less than 2000 rounds, meaning.. M60 = large, heavy club. Yes, TET was no fun. The joke was not to worry about humping too much ammo for the '60, it would break before we used it all and the stupid M16 wouldn't fire the leftovers. We fired a nuclear weapon from an artillery piece, getting back to the bullet slump question. The reason it survived the launch and exploded successfully downrange was the peak push at launch was below the injury level of the device. Remember, it's propellant, not explosive that we use to get the bullets down the barrel. That's why I asked if the freebore concept would keep the peak pressure down to allow the Berger to burn more powder without 'slumping'. If they could get 3000fps or more in a 338-378 Wby, that would prove it. [/QUOTE]
