[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1512321, member: 102560"] Well no deer--blood dog, and a search party turned nothing up. I have always shot the 123 SST and been somewhat happy. I was a big Swift, Barnes X, and trophy bonded guy 15-20 years ago--really changed the way bullet weight and calibers you used. I started shooting long range about 10 years ago--and changed a lot of equipment I used--bullets too (mostly went to Berger, Serria GC, etc) . I had never lost anything up until this point--but looked at some of the bullet performance, and was really underwhelmed. I have said for sometime that I was operating on the edge with the berger hunting bullets. I would never go to Africa with them--as I feel game is too big and heavy. I used some Hornady bullets in Africa and almost lost a Livingston Eland (a waterbuck too)with poor bullet performance-- put him on the ground with a swift A frame. Really have been looking at the hammer bullets after this. may be going back to tried and true type bullets for putting game on the ground. I have a couple big hunts for me coming up--and if this would have been a mid-Asian ibex I flew half way 'round the world for--or a Stone sheep that gets me 3/4 to my slam...I'd be super sick--I'm sick enough and it 5 min from my house.
