[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 204447, member: 5418"] I used them in a 300 WM at a reduced MV of 2900. Found that on shoulder shot blesbuck (150-180lbs on the hoof) I was getting devestating performance but not much penetration and no exits. I would not use the 178gr A-Max on bigger game - say larger than deer. I use the 210gr VLD at around 2750-2800 with great results on large African antelope out the range you mention. I've seen exits on many shoulder shots on larger antelope with SMK's. [/QUOTE]
