After looking for the berger 153.5 hybrids for close to two years I finally found some last week.. I ordered a 500 count box of them and they came this evening.. after getting them I wondered how much different they would measure out compared to my old ones.. will I have to retune my prc with the new ones... how many of these will I have to burn up getting them dialed in.. wasted primers and powder.. barrel life .. all these things running through my head.. got the calipers and 26 insert and thought might as well see how much different they are.. cut open the bag and measured one from base to ogive.. .807.. measured a couple more .807
Dug out the container with what's left of my old stash and measured one of them. .8065 measured a couple more .8065. Woo hoo plug and play baby... can't hardly believe that.. but impressed.. 👏 to berger..

It's nice when it works out like that.

Mine are supposed to be here today or tomorrow. As you said, it's been a 2 year drought for these.
