[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2513736, member: 68875"] I have used both on several game animals. I saw no discernable difference in performance on game. The VLDs were a bit more sensitive to seating depth, but once I found it, they never seemed to go out of tune. In 2800 rounds of 6.5SLR or 800+ of 6.5SS. That being said, I have gone to a 140 Hyb and 130 Hyb in my rifles now. The Hybs have a touch thicker jacket, and really hold up well to higher velocities, but still work really well at 1800fps. The 156s bring bigger cased 6.5mm cartridges into a new level of lethal if you can push them hard enough to overcome the added velocity of the 140s. Especially at longer ranges. They are an Elite design too, which is basically a Hybrid shape with the jacket thickness of the Hunting lines. [/QUOTE]
