[QUOTE="doverpack12, post: 2950143, member: 57848"] 180 hunting vld failed in on game performance for me from my STW with just over 3000 fps muzzle velocity. Several animals, multiple shots and similar results of over expansion and not enough penetration. Too much speed for that bullet until it slows down quite a bit. I never found the speed it would start to perform acceptably at. I have 195s to try next and if my twist is too slow will drop to the 190 or 184. You want and need the thicker hybrid jacket in a 28N unless you only plan to shoot game starting 3-400 yards and beyond. Petey308 has some really good threads on here analyzing bullet construction and preferred impact velocity. He talks about the Berger jackets a fair amount. Recommend you look those up [/QUOTE]
