[QUOTE="Blaze Orange, post: 961971, member: 81283"] Wow. Does the end of the neck crimp tight to the bullet, or does the brass only engage the bullet further down inside? How well does the brass grip the bullet? I'm wondering about developing concentricity issues banging them around in the field. Might need to take better care of these than my usual "jamb them in my front pockets and hike all day". 2720 with 230s sounds pretty good. Are you running out of room for powder? I read Bryan Litz's [U]Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting[/U] and he made the case the .300 Win Mag can keep up pretty well with a .338 Lapua when you use the Berger 230 Hybrids. He backed away from giving them a thumbs up or thumbs down for hunting though. Left a bit of a question mark in my mind about terminal performance. Then I read Broz's thread documenting his success using the 215 Hybrids on antelope to elk from 200 to 1200 yards. I figured 215s might be a great starting point for me. I know he and/or his son have worked with the 230s as well, but I never tracked down a thread that went into the terminal ballistics of the 230s like he did with the 215s. The higher velocities of the 215s might offer some advantages. [/QUOTE]
