[QUOTE="Broz, post: 900197, member: 7503"] We have used them in the 7mm-300's and a MV of 3150 plus. Expect more expansion on closer shots than a 180 HVLD which makes them a better long range bullet. Put them behind the shoulder for crumpling DRT results. I would avoid the shoulders under 400 yards if possible for best results. I am not a shoulder shooter unless I am so far out past 1000 yards I am concerned with lack of expansion. I believe any fragmenting bullet works best behind the shoulder right into vitals. Expect massive vital damage and animals to not take many steps if any if placed decent. If your shots are all under 400 or 500 I would opt for the 180 Hunting VLD. I do not fiddle with bullet tips. I do check them with a staple or needle to assure they are open. I always opt for the 180's over a 168 if I can especially if elk are in the hunt schedule. Jeff [/QUOTE]
