Elwood Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Danny I'm going to run a side by side on Saturday as I have just inadvertently booked a lane or two on Stickledown. More neck tension and 180 vld's and Hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyt Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 nice one it will be good to compare, i was thinking along the lines of useing the hybreds in a wsm with more speed than the shehane for the long range shoot in july Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Both my WSM and my Shehane show a distinct liking for the Berger 180 VLD. They shoot far crisper elevations. I found the Hybrids in my barrels had fidgiting elevation in comparison to the VLD's These barrels were all of the same batch of 1 in 9's I was wondering wether a 1 in 8.5 twist may be better as the Hybrids are a very long bullet.

Cheers Dave The thing i am trying to find out Dave is which is the best bullet to fire at 3100+fps and still hold together well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have run a side by side test with my Shehane at Bisley today at 1000 yards. The VLD's shot 1 MOA flatter than the Hybrids and also held better vertical, both were trimmed and pointed. I tried a 307 bushing with the VLD's and although it was OK the 308 bushing giving me roughly 1 to 1-1/2 neck tension was better by a considerable margin. So that's still 500 Hybrids for sale.

Lee Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I just bought 500 hybrids so they better work!!. I have the 8.5 twist and always shot the normal 180 vld's fine. My only problem is the next shoot is Blair atholl which is not the best place to test groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
