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

[QUOTE="Eric Stecker, post: 402433, member: 8908"] This would be one solution that will minimize if not eliminate the potential for high pressure causing nose slump. Maximizing case volume (moving the bullet forward) and using a powder that requires close to 100% fill ratio is typically a great combination regardless. The part about long throats is not as clearly defined. The pressure increase by the bullet engaging the rifling is not as clear and defined. I'm not saying that it doesn't play a role but I would want to see some thorough testing on this point before I extended my throats for this purpose. The other thing to keep in mind is whether or not you feed through a magazine. Some things we can adjust and some things must be compromised. The exciting thing is that I believe strongly that we have not optimized the shooting system to the point where it cannot be improved. Regards, Eric [/QUOTE]
