[QUOTE="BigSkyGP, post: 485976, member: 28118"] Over kill, in my experience. I bought some 180gr Hornady SPBT 300WM, from a buddy he had a lot of it, and didn't want to sell it to just anyone, he made an offer I couldn't refuse. Plus I'd tried some in my rifle and was pleasently surprised, it shot real well. I took it antelope hunting, antelope aren't big enough to expand 180gr Hornady. Probably a good thing, shot placement still makes DRT @ 100yds the first time. Maybe I didn't learn my lesson, there was a lot of 180gr I'd picked up. I used it the next year as well, I had a 20mph gusting cross wind @260yds, I was afraid I'd mess up the shot, and mess up the antelope. So I used rule of thumb, and tuched off 2" infront of the eyesocket. Neither one lost meat, to mention. Is it the right bullet? It fills the freezer with DRT performance. [/QUOTE]
