[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2128441, member: 13732"] I've observed the 195s kill game from 150y to 1120y and several kills in between as my two hunting mates shoot 28N/195 combo at 3080fps with Retumbo. As long you clean the tips with a wire drill bit they will always expand. However shot placement is important with the 195. Putting it on the shoulder at shorter ranges is a bad idea, they can blow up and get little penetration. Put it on the crease behind the shoulder and you're money. The 180hyb has a slightly heavier jacket and has more controlled expansion. Once again keep the tips open to prevent pencil through impacts. I personal like the performance of the 180 that I have observed vs the 195. Less bloodshot meat damage, less grenade affect if you will. The 195 can be a very violent bullet at high speeds. Bergers will perform well all the way down to 1800fps, they advertise 1500 but I choose a more conservative ceiling. [/QUOTE]
