They will be good if a RUM will push them at 3400fps out of a 30-34 inch tube with US869 powder.

If they can get that speed out of them - I'll build/buy a 7mm RUM - that 325 and 25 only cals I dont own under 338.. must be about time for a 7mm

They will be nice for the 7mm guys, F class etc if you can cope with the recoil & lack of barrel life
IF they get the BC they are looking for & they will stand up to the twist rate required without the jackets getting to thick, they will be good for hunting.
But in a Rum etc they will only be a whisker in front of a .338 300 Hybrid that will have 3-5 times the barrel life & the 300 will be miles easier to keep accurate over its life & will kill better
Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

A 7mm rum should give you 3000-3100 depending on barrel length
The 7mm lapua imp 3200-3300 but dont expect the barrel to last to long.1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

Nice... As KG said, the proof will be in the shooting though...
If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

It will be interesting but this is Berger and they've built a few hybrids now.They are already calling this a hunting bullet and giving estimated bc so my money is they will win with these.
