    .284 180gr Berger Hybrid, how are they for you?

    I'm launching these out of my RUM at 3200. So far I've shot 4 animals, and it has killed them all, but not dropping them on the spot.
    My RUM use to be a 7mm mag, and I used 162 amax and 168 bergers. A shoulder shot guaranteed a dead on the spot animal. I can't remember many that ran at all.
    With the RUM I've had two good shoulder shots, one on a red hind and the other a tahr, both ran a bit before falling over.
    I know the hybrids have a thicker jacket than the VLD and a-max, but maybe too thick for the violent expansion and drop on the spot kills.
    How are you guys finding them? Thinking I might go to the 180gr VLD.
