[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 585123, member: 9281"] OK boys here it is!! Got my 230 Match Hybrid Target bullets today. I split the jacket off of one of the 230's and one off of my 210 hunting VLD with a dremel tool. I carefully cleaned up the sharp edges with emery cloth when done as to get accurate measurements. On each jacket (230 and 210) I measured in five places starting at the base and going to the middle of the ogive recording all measurements. I repeated this process once so as to average my findings. Talk about excited, here is what I found! Berger 230 Match Hybrid Target average jacket thickness: .023" Berger 210 Match Hunting VLD average jacket thickness: .022" Metplant Diameter (As accurately as I could measure): 210 Hunting VLD: .070" 230 Hybrid Target: .070" Might we expect to see VLD like performance on game? I don't know, but I'm going to find out next season!! The 230 is on top, the 210VLD on the bottom. [LEFT][ATTACH]4724.vB[/ATTACH] Notice the blunt nose on the lead portion of the 230, this might actually work better to open on game?[/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
