6br and 109 hybrids

[Matt Jacobs]

Just picked up 2000 109 hybrids to try out of a 1/7 twist barrel with n150 any one have any success with these?

Good starting load?

I would like to run right around 2800 if possible

 

[J.d. Popkes]

Yes

 

[Matt Jacobs]

Yes

Any more to add

Maybe like speed charge weight seating depth/jump etc…

Glad they are working out for you.

Pretty sure Erik Cortina uses that combo last I saw.

As far as velocity/charge/seating that’s always up to the individual to test in his particular rifle. But I’d throw out a wild guess since it’s a BR, that it’s either side of 30 grains like always and in the neighborhood of 2850. And he claims to not pay attention to distance from lands of you watch his stuff.

It’s a well known combo, I’d say run it.

Do you mean 200 109 Hybrids?
If you put 2000 through the barrel trying them, It will be time for a new barrel won't it?
I'm new so please bear with me.
What free bore in your barrel?
At what point does that number become a factor?
I know those are long bullets but being a hybrid how does that effect if anything,the touch point
as opposed to say the Berger 108 Target?
Thanks for the info, G

Interested!

Here is what we have so far.

This is with N150 just started powder testing at .020 jump.

I will test some more as I get time, but will probably load 29.9 as my charge.

I did test 30 grains and .080 jump just on a whim. Numbers were similar but velocity fell to 2774fps 3 shot group about .37”

Haha i liked “he claims to not pay attention to distance from lands”. I watch cortina, learned a good bit from him but I believe he’s a sneak sneak as far as what he tells.

Lot a times you will see velocity dip or plateau when you’re close. Why are you not going until you see pressure? To me it’s important to know max even if you wind up way below. Especially when you mess around in the lands.

No real reason to not continue to see pressure, I just don't feel like its going to do anything for me. Especially being that ill seat the bullet with a jump of at least .030 or more.

Can you share the target ladder ?

 

[Rat Rifle]

Very interested to see the results here. The 1/7 Twist could be the key ??

with the numbers porvided what were the three shot groups sizes

.258” to .398”

Those were the 4 shot groups. I’ll see if I have a picture.

My question is from where did you obtain 109 Hybrids.
Thank you.

Thank you.

I planted 2077 105 hybrids and watered them daily until they grew into 109’s.


I traded my buddy who had them. Traded 105 for 109.

 

[Matt Jacobs]

Did some seating depth testing today. Didn’t really like anything above .065 group wise. Numbers still good.

I apparently didn’t take any pictures. I’m sorry.

Sounds like you used lots of fertilizer.

Have a good one.!
