I know the 215 grain hybrid is a fan favorite, but I'd love to hear some opinions about how the 220 grain LRHT stacks up against it.
 
All the LRHT’s kick ass. I shoot the 220 in my saami chamber 300 PRC, and they're great. Minor weight penalty over the 215 for a meaningful bump in BC. Good trade. Seem to recall the LRHT’s were introduced with the intent to shrink bullet to bullet BC variations.

Agree, they're great, and can handle more spin than the 225 eld-m's, assuming you have the twist and boiler room. The tips aren't all identical though, so measure from ogive rather than coal - but they all seem to shoot just fine. I was being a stickler about the tips at first and fixing them at the time of reloading, but found it to be unnecessary.
