    Anybody shot any game with the Berger 7mm 180gr Hybrids yet?

    Just putting together some reloading components in preparation for my 284 Winchester long range build. I will test the 162gr Amax & the 180gr Berger VLD but was wondering if Bergers 180gr Hybrid which presumably have a thick jacket expand ok on game. So does anybody have any experience with terminal ballistics of the Hybrids in their 7mm?
    Is Sierra's 175 SMK or 180gr worth trying as well?

    Apparently very good terminal performance, but thats out of bigger 7mm. Hopefully I can report back in a couple days with my experiences...
    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    I've not had any issues getting them, there did appear to be a drought a while ago
