107 smk or 105 hybrid

[Nomad47]

Thanks, Steve.

On five shot groups... Four years ago, I asked Walt Berger if I should shoot 3 or 5 shot groups. His response... Three shots tells you if the rifle and load are any good. Five shots tells you if the shooter is any good.

When I shoot off my portable bench on BLM land or some farmers pasture in Ohio, I tend to shoot 4 shot groups. Reason: With three shots any number of things starting with the shooter could cause a three shot group to look bad. If at least three of four look good, I will shoot the load again with at least five shots in the group.

Well I have my other 6br running the hybrids at 12 thou off the lands , ill try 15 off as well. Froggy, i dont know if a bigger target would help me with a sling but i am willing to try next time we can get together at Oak Ridge for a fun day.

Having the same problem myself, my 107 load is proven, 199-12 at 500 coat and sling in tricky winds 2 weeks ago. But I have a box of 105 VLD's and Hybrids as well, just tempted to try something new for the mid range at Miami on the 4th...

Well Cody, now is the time to find out before the Snowbird!

well i keep hoping the snowbird just forgets to visit my neck of the woods. Our gun shop just started stocking Bergers so all my rifles now are gonna try one.

Don't be afraid to jump them further. I'm at .035 with both the hybrids and SMK's.

I ran from .060 jump too.015 in. The group size stayed about the same,.200 for 5 shots at 100 yds. So i started in from zero and you could see it getting smaller to and leveled out at .080 for 10 shots at.010 in. I found it did the same with two powders. The two Brux barrels act the same...... jim

Well the winds were very very tricky.. on sat the winds were 15-20 mph coming out of the north.. no tell tale switches caught a lot of folks with their pants down.. as for sunday, the wind was just a bout the same direction, with not much better wind, but the only thing was, the switching of it was worse! Chele had a real hard time with it, being that she had not ever experience those kind of conditions.. I don't think that it would have mattered which bullet they used this past weekend.. But then there were times she did well with the conditions.. overall, in my opinion, she did very very well considering the conditions and her experience in competition!

For what its worth, I just shot a new record at 600 on an f class target this fall using berger's. 200-19X, I have never tried the 107's, when I get something that works, I stend to stay with it.

As you should. There is no reason to change a working formula!
