[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1084425, member: 86754"] Back when I was using the Nosler 180BT they were still pretty fragile. I killed an antelope doe around 360yds, quartering toward me and it ruined a lot of meat...not hard to do on antelope anyhow, ha. Later that year, I shot a 3x3 muley about 80yds with it. He was down in an aspen bowl, looking up at me. I shot him through the neck and it blew up pretty good, shrapnel went into his withers, ruining more tasty meat, ha. That's when I went to the Barnes 180XBT. While that's only two critters, and that 180BT was super accurate, I just didn't want to fool with it anymore. Today's 180BT has been toughened up, as you probably know or have read about, and I would have to try it again IF I still used the 300WM. The only Ballistic tip I'm going to use in this 7mm REM Mag is the 150 and that's for deer. I'm also playing with the 165 Sierra/Partitions and 175 Sierras/Partitions...life is good! I've never used any Berger but they sure are popular out here in Utah. [/QUOTE]
