Thanks John!

Bryan Litz is an asset to the whole world's shooting community. Not only does he contribute to our better understanding of ballistics he is now designing us better bullets to use.

Beyond the physics of shooting, Bryan comes across as modest and polite and a great role model for shooters. He gladly accepted the task of contributing to our humble little SA website and went as far as to say it was an honor to contribute as the Celebrity Shooter.

I wish Bryan continuing success and look forward to his next book!

Cheers,

Ian

A quick update, I just got these dimensions from Berger's Eric Stecker. May fit in existing chambers ok looking at the picture at the bottom of the article and these dimensions from Eric.

The differences between the Berger 7mm 180 gr VLD and the 7mm 180 gr Hybrid are as follows:

-----------------------VLD--------Hybrid
OAL-------------------1.525-------1.529
Boat Tail--------------.220--------.220
Nose Length------------.764--------.850
Bearing Surface--------.541--------.459
G7 BC------------------.337--------.345

Well yogie is comming out to play at the Loxton PM. I hope he behaves himself, not like at your Kapunda PM.

Last weekend he behaved at 700m, but I had a lost shot, or maybe I forgot too pull the trigger hard enough and the firing pin didn't strike the primer hard enough and there was only a small flash just enough to ignite a little bit of powder and the bullet just droped out the end of the barrel.

There we go I will have a look for my lost shot and reuse my bullet.

Cheers, it must be Friday.
Paul

PS Thank you for the info Ian
