[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2563977, member: 52585"] I think the 180 hybrid is the peak of efficiency from most 7s. I've shot the 168s plus many other 7s as well as the 215/230 bergers. I've found the 230 hybrid to hold up better than the 215 after shooting several with each. I'm running the 180 target hybrid at 2850 from a short barreled saum. Only killed a few deer and hogs so far but it's deadly. I will say that I shot a bull elk with a 230 at 547 yards last year with a mv of 2980. Perfectly placed shot just tight to the shoulder center punching both lungs. We found the base of the jacket and a few fragments on the off side skin. He didn't take a step but somehow rose to his feet and received a second bullet high shoulder. His lungs were completely mushed. I'm having a hard time deciding which to take this year on a muley hunt. Both hold .5moa to 800. [/QUOTE]
