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

[QUOTE="Eric Stecker, post: 402438, member: 8908"] Phorwath, You explained your point well and I can't argue with you without deliberate testing since my opinions expressed are based on limited observation and mostly the comments made by others more experienced than I am on this subject. Don't worry about saying anything that will keep me off the forums. The only thing that does keep me away is a little bullet company that requires regular attention:) I will comment on one aspect of your situation regarding shorter COAL producing lower velocities. Could this be the result of more gas escaping around the bullet before it seals in the bore? When moving the bullet forward (longer COAL) are you essentially sealing off the space where the gas can escape thereby producing higher velocities? I am aware of testing that shows that you can have a higher pressure load and lower velocities. We know for certain that you can use one type of powder that produces high pressure and less velocity compared to another powder that produces less pressure but [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]comparatively[/FONT][/COLOR] higher velocity (stick vs. ball is a generalized example). That fact that what we are talking about [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]something[/FONT][/COLOR] that results from tens of thousands of PSI expanding in milliseconds it is a wonder that we know anything about such a volitile result. There may be slight variations in chamber and ammo configuration that produce different results even though things appear to be the same. I can't speak to why you have observed what you express without venturing deeply into speculation. We are working toward having the means to test such things but we are not there today.
