Product Overview
Federal markets its 168-grain Berger Hybrid Hunter load for "medium and big game." The Berger Hybrid Hunter is a hollow-point hunting bullet with a long, low-drag nose, rated at a G1 BC of .566, and Federal loads it to 2,870 fps at the muzzle.
Compared with HSM's Trophy Gold 168-grain Berger VLD, the Hybrid Hunter starts 30 fps slower and drifts a little more. At 500 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the Hybrid Hunter about 15 inches sideways and the Trophy Gold about 14, and the two kick almost the same in the same rifle. Compared with Hornady's Precision Hunter 162-grain ELD-X, the Hybrid Hunter is 70 fps slower at the muzzle and kicks about 5 percent harder. Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops about 48 inches at 500 yards against about 44 for the ELD-X, and the same wind pushes the ELD-X about 13 inches.
Buy the Hybrid Hunter if you hunt medium and big game and want a heavy, low-drag bullet from Federal. Pick HSM's Trophy Gold 168-grain Berger VLD if you want the same bullet weight with a little more speed; HSM markets it for "medium to large game." Pick the Precision Hunter 162-grain ELD-X if you want a flatter path with less recoil. Pick Hornady's Superformance 162-grain SST if speed at the muzzle matters most; it starts 160 fps faster.
- About 15 inches of drift at 500 yards in a 10 mph crosswind, against about 21 for Federal's 175-grain Power-Shok
- Kicks about 8 percent less than Federal's 175-grain Power-Shok in the same rifle
- Starts with 96 more ft-lbs at the muzzle than the Armscor USA 165
- HSM's Trophy Gold 168-grain Berger VLD carries 134 more ft-lbs at 500 yards
- Drops about 6 inches more than Hornady's Superformance 162-grain SST at 500 yards from a 100-yard zero
- Its G1 BC of .566 trails the .631 of Hornady's Precision Hunter 162-grain ELD-X
