I have a 6.5 creedmoor and am looking for any data on Berger’s new 144gr long range hybrid target bullets.
Any data on the 144gr would be great. I can’t find anything from Berger or from powder manufacturers either. I have bullets so now I need load data. |

Did you call Berger?
It won't be listed in the only manual they have put out, but I can take a look if you say what powder you want to use, and give data on both side of the weight of that bullet. I would start 10% below 140 data and go from there. |

No I have not called them yet. Are they willing to verbally help you with unpublished data? I’m still learning the craft.

The manual is eight years old now, so there is only one powder listed that you have for 140s,and it's H4350.
Berger 140s 36.5 starting load up to 40.7 for max. I haven't been on their website in a while, they may have a section, like Hornady does, where new bullets are listed with load data. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gmhardwick66: No I have not called them yet. Are they willing to verbally help you with unpublished data? I’m still learning the craft. Several threads on these bullets over on the Hide. Give Berger a call they are really helpful and will give you any data you need. If you have a 140 hybrid load you could use that as a starting point to work up to. This was posted as Berger’s response for a 26” 6.5CM but call to verify. Data for the new 144 gn Target Hybrid: RL-16: 37.5-41.5 (2833) RL-17: 38.5- 42.5 H4350: 38- 42.3 (2750) Couple threads with lots of loads, remember to start low and always do your own work ups. https://forum.snipershide.com/threads/new-berger-6-5mm-144gr-lrht.6974645/ https://forum.snipershide.com/threads/berger-144-gr-long-range-hybrid.6975198/#post-8149083 ETA: Looking for reloading data that is not in our reloading manual or listed below? We can help you out! Call us at 660-460-2802 for the latest load data for newly released bullets. |

Had the same question myself a couple of weeks ago. Called Berger and they were very helpful with load data. Give them a call - very friendly!
