130gr Berger AR Hybrid Bullets
« on: August 14, 2018, 11:27:25 AM »
Anyone shoot these on paper or game? Read a few articles about this bullet performing very well for multiple applications in the 6.5 Creed.

I've shot them in my Grendel for targets and they've worked well. I can't tell a difference between the AR Hybrid and the regular 130 VLD in my gun; I use the same load and get them same velocity with either bullet. I tested them along with the 130 VLD in my expansion tests and they performed very similar.

You may have already seen this but some great info here on the 130 AR hybrid out of the 260.  I have a couple boxes and plan to do some testing with them next winter using H4350.
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

We shot several deer and pigs with them in Texas out of a 6.5 Creed.  Worked perfectly
