[QUOTE="StanB, post: 1674256, member: 35558"] Just got done with a South African safari in April and used the 28N with 175 A-frames on Zebra, Sable, Waterbuck, Red Hartebeest, and a Blesbuck. All were 1-shot kills and the shots were inside of 100 yards, and the Sable was only 40 (bang-flop). The Zebra, Sable & Hartebeest were all quartering-in shots. Excellent penetration & bullet performance. Recovered 1 from the Hartebeest, perfect mushroom, all others exited. The A-frames are tough bullets for sure. I would not have trusted the Bergers in those situations. Not saying they would not have gotten the job done, but you would need to be Very picky about shot placement. I shot a bighorn sheep with the 180 Hybrids last fall at 320 yards, right behind the shoulder, and the bullet exploded inside the chest cavity, no exit, just some shrapnel. That was a bang-flop, but I was not expecting that violent bullet performance at that distance. [/QUOTE]
