[QUOTE="NorthRiverGuide, post: 2650596, member: 124575"] They changed the vld in 2011 after issues with the jackets. I know the current thickness of the hybrid target is .026” because Petey308 cut one open and documented it. He’s got some pretty good stuff. I’ve hunted with the 215 hybrid target and it performs extremely well especially at lower impact velocity. I’m not sure how low it will expand I’ve only gone down to just over 1600 fps hunting. Buddy hit a doe with one at just over 900 yards with a 300 prc and the exit hole was the size of a baseball. You are right Berger is constantly tweaking their stuff. Brian litz has a podcast now that’s really good. Instead of putting out a new book every year. He goes chapter by chapter on the podcast covering the topic and any advancements or updates. Only downside is that the books, website, etc doesn’t always get updated as fast as they change something etc. I know that the vld’s are still one thicker and one thinner. The target hybrids though are thinner than the vld hunting. [/QUOTE]
