New 109gr Berger hybrid
- Thread starter benchrest
- Start date
That is what I was just thinking! I am also seeing barrels with a twist rate of 7.83! So those 8.0 twist rate barrels be the best to have if you want to WIN!
Caliber: 6mm (.243")
Grain: 109
Jacket: J4 Target Jacket
Ogive Style: Hybrid
Base Style: Boat Tail (0.168)
G1 BC: 0.568
G7 BC: 0.292
Minimum Twist: 1:8"
OAL: 1.277
Nose Length: 0.665
Base to Ogive: 0.653
Bearing Surface: 0.431
comparing price to bc.....idk
i think $35 is where i will have to draw the line on production 6mm bullets.
$44 is stretching it.
I would rather step into a 6.5mm for a higher bc bullet for the same price.

Bullet pricing is crazy. Its like we are in a constant panic and the market is flooded.
Will probably be $75 / box here in Canadastan.
I went to the Berger Twist Rate Stability Calculator and selected the new 109gr Target Long Range Hybrid. I entered 2870 FPS, Barrel Twist of 8", 70 degrees F, and 80 feet altitude and I got a Marginal Stability of 1.43 with my BC being compromised by 2% and a minimum twist rate recommended: 1 in 7.75"
$175 for a box of 500: http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/new-berger-6mm-109-grain-long-range-hybrid.3992137/
That's 35 cents per bullet.
yeah i reckon about the same here in OZ.. too much
Berger prices are already killing us over here on the dark continent but ill give these a spin when we see them one day
I plan on giving them a run once I find a buyer for my kidney.
LMAO, it isn't that bad but I will try them and I hope they check out better than the 115's. They are fire form bullets now.... jim
Willow actually sugar coated it!!! Things are that bad here... the part he left out was his Kidney is just the deposit.....

Yes, I would say 8 is on the edge, plus you pick up Bc. with a faster twist. I will try them in a 7 same as the 110 SMK and the 110 A tip.... jim
Using the same inputs in the Berger Twist Rate Stability Calculator for the new 109 Hybrid as I used in my Post #6 (these represent the normal conditions I shoot in) I had to increase the speed up to 3300 FPS in order to get out of the Marginal Stability and into the Comfortable Stability zone for twist rate of 8". Entering a speed of 3250 FPS recommended a Minimum Twist Rate of 7.75"
