Anyone using the 168gr Berger Hybrids?

[supergolfer18]

Interested to see what area would be start charge and what everyone is finding good results with?

Will be using Varget and Lapua brass out of a 30" barrel.

Assuming node is going to be in the 44gr area? Trying to narrow down top node area. I know every rifle is different and to work up to any charges

Any help much appreciated

Since you listed your cartridge this is an easy one

A starting load can be found in your manual.

I don't have a Berger manual and only have data from Hodgdon

well we do know the barrel legnth. but with 44 gr in the case im wondering if 30" is long enough. lol

you dont need any manual. just start at say 40 gr and load 1 each in 1 gr increases. shoot them just
from the hip into a dirt pile. when the bolt gets stiff stop. i said stop, and work backwards till you find
a load the gun likes. this way you will never be wondering what the max load is. you will have found out with
just a few shots.

The load data in your Hodgdon book will work.

Tried them out and had some good results. I did an OCW @ 100 yards
