Berger 6.5mmm 144 Hybrid?

Cool looks like they added around 0.018" to the Elite Hunter in the middle and pointed it. Wow over an hour and no comments? Everyone must be eating supper (dinner).

Man, I’m 1800 rounds into my 6.5 CM. I’m thinking it’s not fair to test this bullet now being the barrel is getting long. I’ll rebarrel soon, and give it a try.
 
Sweet! I got a Shillen #5 barrel in the safe and a Winchester 70 action laying around and just got a 6.5x55 Ackley reamer in the mail. Guess I know what I'm doing here soon.

Do you have an expected delivery date yet?
 
Recommended twist rate at the low 2900's?
I checked the Berger website to use their twist rate computer and the 144’s haven’t been added to the library.

I’m betting an 8 twist will be fine. Bearing surface of the 144 Hybrid is .469 compared to the 140 VLD at .435

Cant you manually enter bullet weight and bc?
 
Using the Miller Rules spreadsheet (Berger uses this software with a few bells & whistles added to calculate BC degradation below 1.5 Sg), it says 1 in 8 is excellent unless you work on Thule airbase and shoot mid-winter. In standard conditions (59F and 0 ft ASL in standard air pressure) 2,800 fps MV produces 1.61 Sg using the quoted 1.413" bullet OAL Berger quotes. 1.5 or modest amounts greater is optimal.
