So, I take it you like the Bergers?
The "hybrids" have a shoulder angle design that makes it easier to get accuracy without extensive work on the distance from the lands and the jacket is thicker. The 20 inch barrel on the 260 does not get a lot of speed out of them and I have questions about how the thicker jacket expands on small thin skinned animals such as 100 pound whitetails. But for an elk or a thick skinned hog, I think they are fine. I am hoping to finally lay a South Carolina hog to rest in the coming year so I will know more about them after deer season and hog season. I am comfortable that the "non hybrid hunting Bergers" are a good bullet as long as you have enough sectional density to handle the animal size you are shooting.
