Berger 95 gr Hybrid hunting bullets - grayfox - 06-16-2021
Midway has these in stock. 0.427 BC, I have some on hand but just upped my store a bit.

Welllll, I just did an OAL measure with them into the chamber.... 2.186 to the lands.
Ratz!! Will have to load them fairly short to make them work.
O well, if they don't I have a 6Creed they can go into.

These are what I have been loading in x39 brass in my 243 LBC - got 1k of pulls from American Reloading last year. I don't know what my jump is since I didn't have a modified case when I got them, but I seat them at an OAL of 2.13 which is certainly a bit of a jump. My base to Hornady bullet comparator is 1.67" - compare that to a one of your Grendel chambers and ARC chamber. They seem to be forgiving and are extremely accurate at range. My MV is a barrel friendly 2400 and I regularly work an 8"plate at 550 with them (with a 3-12x scope).

Thanks Good to know.
Well Larry will have them here next week so I can try a few loads out.
One reviewer said he jumped them 0.010 but from what I read of the hybrids, Berger says they act more like a tangent-style forgiving one out ~0.060 or so... which would put me down at the 2.130 give or take range too. Will just have to see what shakes out.
I know I can get a good load in the Creed at ~2875-2900.

You had me intrigued so I broke out the comparator. Looks like I'm jumping 0.065". Lay a bullet next to a case at 2.13 - it's quite ideal - the base of the shank is right at the base of the neck and the base of the boat tail is right at the base of the shoulder on my ARC modified case. A max charge of Varget around 28 grains would give near perfect case fill.
