[QUOTE="firstcoueswas80, post: 1060812, member: 5376"] I am shooting the 180 hybrids from a 7 LRM with a 1:9",26" barrel at 3060. So far, three animals have met their maker with this combo. The first was a coues deer at 487, hit him twice once in the neck which knocked him down and out temporarily but he got back up after minimal damage to need another shot that put him down 1/4ing away, the next was a buck my buddy shot that was with my buck hard 1/4ing away that resulted in a bullet going through the femur, nearly taking the leg off and the bullet going into the paunch, tremendous damage. The next was a Javelina (big one, probably 50-60+#), only at about 60-70 yards. Damage was what I Would expect from a 180 gr bullet at that distance. I recovered the slug on the javelina. Overall I am not sold on them yet. They seem to need to hit something hard to open up. [/QUOTE]
