new Berger 338 cal 250 gr Hybrid - testers needed

Hi everyone! We are looking for people to test our new 338 cal 250 gr Hybrid OTM Tactical bullets. These bullets have a G1 BC of 0.682, a G7 BC of 0.349, and were designed to shoot in an 12” or faster twist barrel. These bullets are designed to be accurate for target shooting; we will also introduce a 250gr Hunting bullet in the near future. We need people who will be able to complete the testing by March 16th. We are very sorry, but due to shipping and customs restrictions, we will only be able to include people within the continental US on the initial test. We are working on a solution to this, and hope to include everyone in future tests. If you are interested, please send me an email at michelle.gallagher@bergerbullets.com with the following information:

-Name, contact and shipping information.
-Type of rifle you will use to test these bullets.
-Type of test you plan to conduct.
-Forum you found this on.

In the past, we limited participation to ten shooters per test. Due to the ever-growing response to these tests, we are going to increase the number we select to roughly one third of the responses. Also, shooters will be limited to one test per year, so we can include as many people as possible. We are looking for a variety of testing methods, so feel free to test them however you would normally test a new component. Those who are selected will be shipped 2 boxes each (100 bullets) of our new 338 cal 250 gr Hybrid OTM Tactical bullets right away. We need you to report your results to us by March 16th. Those who provide their results by then will receive a additional 200 bullets of any Berger Bullets you choose as a Thank-You from us for your time and effort.

We encourage those who are selected to report their findings on this forum for the sake of others who are interested in the results (good or bad), and we will post any results that are not already shown. This testing program will be a regular part of our process, so keep an eye out for other opportunities down the road. Thank you all, and please let us know if you have any questions!

Warm Regards,
Michelle Gallagher
 
Hello! We selected them last week, and I believe Melesia is sending the emails to everyone this morning. Thank you for your patience, and for checking back with us! Have a great day!

Thank you all for being so willing to help us test these bullets! It sounds like the testers have started receiving their bullets, so we should start getting results in the next week or two. I'll be sure to post any results that aren't already online. If the tests are successful, these bullets should be available for purchase by the first part of April.
Thanks,
Michelle
 
Got my 338 OTM bullets tonite for testing. Bullet length is 1.6285". I will be testing them in a 338 win mag rifle 1-10 twist 26" barrel. Powders available are IMR 4350, Re17, and IMR 4831sc on hand. Do fellow shooters think I should add Re19 to the mix. Any accuracy loads/nodes/powders that 338 win mag shooters have before I start loading? I will be doing ladder testing at 300 yds and varying seating depth.Thanks Steve
 
I have a 338 Ultra mag with a 30 inch Broughton. I loaded some with IMR 7828 and shot them on monday. I loaded them .050 off the lands for a starting point. My best group was 1 inch center to center for 3 shots at 300 yds with winds from 6 to 10 mph. I know I can get then to group better but don't know if I should go farther or closer to the lands. With only 100 bullets to test I don't want to waste them going in the wrong direction. Who has shot the 300 gr hybrids and how long did it take you to find seating depth? What are you guys using for seating depth? I want to do some testing at 500 meters with these.
Thanks
Tarey
