[Dubya]

Just got some 140 Berger hybrids and would like to know if you guys are jumping them and if so, how much.

Thanks,
Gary C.

6.5x384 is that a new cal you are running Brian?

My error, changed it.

Just got done doing some testing with my 6.5x284 and Berger hybrids. I think I finally found what I'm looking for. I used fed210m primers, 51gr 4831sc and jammed them .002. My groups are under .2 with the best being .148

Don't be afraid to try them jammed, I've had great success with them jammed .020

my only concerns with jamming bullets, specifically in f-class is the chance of having to eject a loaded round and possibly sticking the bullet in the lands and making a mess of the action and possibly dropping points or worse, putting yourself out of contention if you were in the hunt.

Glad you found a load though. Most guys shooting the 140 hybrids I know find a load that is jumped.
