[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 836909, member: 5219"] After reading Jeff's hunting stories the from last year I wouldn't worry about shooting the target versions on big game! I will be hunting with a couple of target hybrids this year and have confidence they will work fine. 180 7mms and the 230 30 cal. To quote Jeff: Re: hunting verus target VLDs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hunt with both almost every year. I have never seen any Berger open on impact, they are designed to penetrate in 3 to 5" and then start the expansion. This is what they both do. In some cases depending on velocity and what "target bullet" we are talking, I have seen the Targets even work better. For instance the 215 Hybrid in 30 cal. We have used them extensively and every single animal had a nice .308 entrance and destroyed vitals. This was a total of 19 big game animals last season. After 500 to 600 yards the expansion was less and we got exits of the 1 1/4" size on all that exited. That included an antelope at 1285 yards. I hunted for years with the 210 Hunting VLD before trying the 215. I will not be changing back. Jeff [/QUOTE]
