[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1138898, member: 12995"] Bryan, congrats on your recent comp win. This may have already been covered, and I apologize if it has been, but I would like to see ballistics gel tests comparing bullet expansion, weight retention, etc.. with the 7mm 180 VLD-H, VLD-T, and Hybrid Target bullets at different distances from close (100) to long range (1000). It has really peaked my interest, with all the recent threads (in the last couple years) talking about issues with the VLD's being "too explosive", and all the posts about how well the Hybrid Target bullets are performing on game. I have not tried the Hybrids on game, but have used the VLD's, and they have worked great. I have a really good load developed using the 180 Hybrids in my 7mm STW, and was wondering how well those might work on game, since Jeff (Broz) says how good the 215 Hybrids work for him. Also, another thing I have seen mentioned a few times lately, is that some people are claiming that while the Hybrid bullets might be a few grains heavier than their nearest VLD counterpart, they are getting more velocity from the Hybrid, because of the shorter bearing surface. I was curious to know your thoughts on this, as well. [/QUOTE]
