Found this this morning, amazing they were only using Berger 109 gr. bullet. I have some Berger 115's on the way, maybe I should try and snag some 109's

Here he does a 1776 shot with the 109's

He almost has enough time to run down to the corner store and grab a cup of coffee between release and impact.
If you see any of the 109s anywhere, let me know! I've been looking for a while.

I have some Berger 108gr Elite Hunter 6mm bullets. I wonder if they work as well as the 109's? I also have an 8lb jug of Varget.

The meplat of the 109s is specifically designed for reduced bullet to bullet variation in BC and long range target shooting. I would assume that the Elite Hunter's meplat is designed for consistent and controlled expansion. At that sort of range, the hunting bullet would likely have more vertical dispersion.
I don't know how much design goes into how well a target bullet will transition through the sound barrier (I always assume there is none). Even if there is an element involved, I would doubt it would be a parameter with a hunting bullet since 1125 or so is well below reliable expansion velocities.
