[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2821088, member: 110890"] The guys on here actually know their stuff and are worth paying attention to, but it's a free country (mostly) and you can shoot what you will. But, in working with some of these guys, I know they have your best interest in mind with their caution. If you decide to try the 177's, it'd be interesting to hear your results fair and square. As to the 195's... We still run the 180 Hybrid in the 7-LRM. It just shoots so good in that rifle I can't stand to mess with it. My son tried to take down a small deer with it that had been injured. Didn't get a good shot angle and had to take it from the rear on a straight-away before it disappeared into the brush. It didn't go far till it laid down, but a good bit later he found it alive and had to finish it off. Didn't penetrate to the vitals even on a small half year old deer. I personally had a similar shot angle a couple days later on a mature doe but with the 6.5 MAX and the 123 Hammer. Punched the rear ham and came out tight behind the front shoulder on opposite side with impressive internal damage enroute. Much better penetration (terminal performance) than the larger 180 Hybrid. Still using the Hybrids, but do feel a bit handicapped after seeing the performance differential. [/QUOTE]
