[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1058936, member: 16938"] I've kind of fallen into a rhythm with the Hybrids in the last few rifles I've loaded. I converted my 7mm REM from VLDs to 180 hybrids in six shots. They came in at .050" off the lands. I went back and tried it with my 300 WM that was previously .080" off and shot tighter groups at .050 off. The first time I tried I completely skipped over the .050" off the lands because I was testing .020 increments. (.020, .040, .060 etc.) While it's true the hybrids will shoot well at several depths, there is a spot in the .040-.060 off that they shoot lights out. Once you find an inherently accurate powder charge, load a series of bullets at .040, .050, and .060 off the lands. One of these will be tighter than the rest. Don't be afraid to try the 200 grain hybrid with your slower twist. [/QUOTE]
