Has anyone shot big game with one of these? Have a load thats consistently under .5moa out of my Montana but was after some opinions before I take them hunting and potentially drop the hammer on a critter. I know the .22 cal 52's work on foxes from the 22-250, but im curious about the 190gr 30 cal. Shooting a .300wm just under 2900 fps.

I use 140gr. 6.5mm custom comps on mule deer. Definitely not "Hard" like Sierra.

Thanks for the feedback guys. That photo of the 175 sure is a good example.
