Hammerdown,

No such thing as a VLD hybrid. Sure you meant to say VLD.

Fotus,

It can get confusing with all the new hybrid variants. There is the OTM, target, classic hunter and elite hunter.

The 230 gr OTM and 230 gr target have been used on big game with excellent results.

The 215 VLD hunting and 230 gr target hybrid have almost identical jackets:

I took advantage of the higher BC of the 230 target hybrid and will be using them on a elk hunt in Dec. Using a 300 RUM. Friend will also use them with his 300 WSM. I know they will work close or far.
