155 hybrids

Just wondering if any of the F/Std shooters are or have had a play with these.

I have used the Hybrids since they were first released. Laid in a good supply before prices and availability became unpredictable.
I also use the Sierra 2156's and find that they will shoot just as well but need about 0.4grs more propellant to achieve the same result.
Both are used in 12 twist barrels which is a must for the Hybrid.

Razor are they as good as the 155.5

With my rifles I could not get the same result with the 155.5 as I could with the Hybrid but that doesn't mean that the same result will be true in other rifles.
My chambering and twist may have favoured the Hybrids, but, there are plenty shooting the 155.5 with good results so it is a bit hard to compare them without shooting a few yourself.

Hi Mate

I haven't personally given them a go but from what I could gather a lot of the better F Standard shooters in QLD have been using them to great effect. I will be using these in my next barrel - a 1 in 11 twist as I feel it needs just a little more twist over the 155.5's.

Just my opinion though and I have no evidence to support the need for a slightly tighter twist. I have heard that some of the TR guys were tinkering with the concept of a 1 in 11 for the 155 Hybrid too.

Good luck.

Cheers

My 308 loved them with .030" jump.
My barrel was a 13" twist and it went well with them in warm weather (less dense air), but needed a faster twist in cooler weather.
