[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1055729, member: 5219"] Berger doesn't offer a 180 gr 30 bullet. They offer several versions of the 185 gr: Match Grade VLD Hunting VLD Match VLD Target Match Hybrid Target Match Grade Classic Hunter ( also a hybrid) The VLD hunting and the classic hunting bullets will have a thinner bearing surface than the target versions. The nose thicknesses are the same. The thicker target versions may hold together better with higher velocities at closer ranges. IMO the only reason for using a VLD is because you made a load with them before the hybrids came out and don't want to bother to make up a new load. I found the VLDs to be more difficult to get to shoot. I switched to both target and classic hybrids and don't intend to buy another VLD. The hybrids truly are seating depth friendly as advertised.
