The 180's aren't a speed demon, you'll probably only hit 2300fps or so.

But they work like the freaking energizer bunny. And every one has been a pass through, never recovered a bullet on 20'ish deer.

Steelie's 130gr TTSX would be fine, but I think it's long for weight build keeps it from getting much more velocity than a factory 150gr. It'd still be deadly and nicer for longer shooting. Keep meaning to pick up some 125gr BT's and see how they work out of a couple 300's seeing they can hit 3000fps.
