[QUOTE="300win, post: 155644, member: 5965"] I have used the 178 a max for many years on whitetail and mule deer. Shooting them for a 300 wm at 3000 fps + they are devastating, similar to a ballistic tip. We are able to buy as many deer tags as we want so I do quite allot of bullet testing. Last year I played with the 155 a max out of a 308 with poor results at best. They showed very little penetration and complete bullet failure. Many times the jacket was found within inches of the entry wound. I have also been playing with the 190 bergers. With the excellent results of bergers in my f class gun I used them hunting also. I only shot 2 deer. One was 880 yards with a impressive exit wound for the range and the other was 520 yards and both shoulder blades were taken out. I plan on shooting the 190 bergers this up coming season. The 190 smk may be an accurate bullet but in my opinion they have much to heavy of a jacket for whitetail. I used them 2 years and learned a great deal about bullet performance. My theory is to cause as much damage and dump as much horsepower on target as possible with a heavy bullet. [/QUOTE]
