Berger Long Range Hybrid Target Terminal performance

[SDHNTR]

Effective? Generally. The same- no. It would be akin to saying a ELD-X and a Barnes TTSX are the same. Both plastic tipped and both kill, but both behave quite differently.

Differently on the theoretical level, sure, but effectively different? Not in my experience. Would love to know what you’ve seen that is so different.

Which? Between VLD and Target Bergers?

Certainly you dont mean between a Berger and a TTSX?!?!?

Which? Between VLD and Target Bergers?

Yeah, or say between VLDH and Hybrid Targets. You’ve seen a meaningful difference in tissue destruction?

Locked and loaded with some 135 LRHTs for in the morning. Will report back.

Yes. Thin jacket VLD’s typically penetrate 3-5” then fragment near totally. With lots or most caliber/weights- exits are relatively rare in larger see and elk. Think 15-16” penetration with a 8” wide wound channel with extreme cavitation in the chest.
Most target versions will penetrate 4-8” before yawing or upsetting, and they will generally exit. Think 3’ish inch wide wound channel.

They also generally have different impact velocity requirements- 1,800 to 1,900fps impact with VLD-H, and 2,050’ish for Target/tacitical/OTM’s. That’s in general, there are exceptions however.
