[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1106149, member: 30671"] The extra velocity of the 180's, couple with good expansion of the Accubond limits penetration at times. Bigger deer, in the timber, close, at less than ideal angles, such as the OP is talking about, and the 180 is less than ideal. We've recovered from pretty small deer 225's that I would have liked to see penetrate a little better, from relatively small deer, fired from an "EDGE". On antelope size deer, at RUM velocity, its kind of like hitting coyotes with a .25-06, and the most thin skinned bullet you have. They just pop. Hell of a mess, but DOA. I could have worded it better, Yes they will kill most any critter, but they tend to be at the extreme's of performance, not much middle ground, and better choices exist. I just loaded about 150 of them last night. Love them for rocks and steel, but I'm over shooting animals with them. [/QUOTE]
