Trying to wrap my head around the differences, particularly as they pertain to jacket thickness and expansion, as I plan to shoot 6x47L and 25x47L a little at prairie dogs next season.
As I understand, the VLD hunting uses the J4 jacket, which is thinner than jacket used in standard VLD. But it also seems like the Hybrid uses same (thinner) J4 jacket and thus should offer up similar expansion? Also/but hybrid design lends itself to being more jump tolerant, which can have advantages for "oal-restrictive" mag-fed setups, right?? And jump tolerant Hybrid might also offer advantage for varmint use where you might shoot 200-400 rounds on a trip without re-tuning?
Hybrid seems to have become a lot more popular?
Thanks!
