Berger 7mm 168vldh @2950fps or Beger 180 hybrid @ 2835fps?
Accuracy and all other things being equal…..
What do you guys like better for Elk under 1000yds

180 Hybrid if you have the 8 twist it needs.
The 168 HVLD is a grenade (this coming from a guy who loves ELD Ms). I took them to Africa and had good results overall, but if I built another 7mm I would go straight to 180s without a second look at the 168 weight class.

Thanks for the good info.
The 180s have been shooting very good for me and used them to take a bear this spring with good results.
I have no “on game” experience with the 168s but the higher velocity is tempting.
FYI the 180 hybrid only needs a 9 twist, but the 180eldm does need an 8
