I just shot a whitetail deer in the throat patch at 35 yards with a 168 berger going over 3000 at the muzzle. It went in, shattered the neck and left a half dollar sized exit in the back of the neck. Saw a buddy shoot an antelope with a 180 partition and it left a volleyball sized exit in front of the shoulder and ruined the cape. Guess nothing is for sure.

That said I will keep rolling 168 bergers and when they are shot up, will probably switch to 180 scenars. Like I said earlier, lot of bullets will work.
