6mm berger bullets question

[jepp2]

My question to anyone using the Berger 105gr Hybrid Target bullets have you found a FPS that they performed better than another?

I typically find seating depth is more critical. I also experience around 100 fps increase in velocity in my Krieger barrels after they get past 150 rounds through them. If you are serious about getting the Hybrids to shoot their best, you may find other adjustments are necessary.

Where did you end up?

. 012 off lands.

Also, .008 jam shot just as good but I prefer to jump vs jam.

General rule of thumb for bullet seating depth testing for the BERGER HYBRID TARGET AND elite hunter hybrid :
A general rule of thumb with the Berger Elite Hunter and Hybrid Target bullets is to start your bullet seating depth testing at .015" off the lands. Then you work back into the cartridge case in .015" increments (.015",.030", .045", .060"). When you find a bullet seating depth that shows promise, you can test .005" to either side of that CBTO if you wish to see if accuracy can be improved. All bullet seating depth testing is done using the starting powder charge!

I saw no mention of you trying to work up a load. Sounds like you just substituted one bullet for another and it didn't shoot like you wanted. That ain't the way it works.
