Overall length is the stability issue. The 185 Hybrid is 1.435″ vs. 1.378, 1.353 & 1.386 for the 185 VLD, 185 BT-LR & 190 VLD, respectively. The longer the bullet for its caliber and weight, the faster it must spin to stabilize.

The 185 BT-LR and VLD’s are both 1:12. Even the 190 is 1:12.

The 200 Hybrid has the same G7 BC as the 210 BT-LR and should be able to achieve slightly better velocities. If you are presently using the 185 or 210 BT-LR, it is probably not worth switching until restocking time arrives. Both BT-LR bullets are very easy to tune.
