[QUOTE="trhall, post: 1782896, member: 26233"] The Hybrid is a VLD type bullet as is the Accubond Long Range and the Hornady ELD line of bullets. I think the regular Accubond or the Partition would both be excellent choices for 500 yards or less. They both have decades of positive performance on killing game, even dangerous game on multiple continents. Best of luck to you friend. I'm not a shoulder, or high shoulder shooter. I have always followed what my father and grandfather taught me over 40 years ago and that is to shoot for the crease. It gives you the biggest target (kill zone) so you have margin for error whether that's missing the wind call, the distance, or the animal moving as you break the trigger. There are some people who really like the dramatic Drop Right There high shoulder shot but it's just too marginal for me and I don't like to waste the meat. On an elk there's quite a bit of meat, nice roasts, or burger meat in the front quarters. There have been many animals knocked down with that shot that then got up and got away because the hit too high or too low and missed the spine. I've never lost and animal that was hit through both lungs or the heart... [/QUOTE]
