I have very limited experience with the CX on game but, in 2019, a large group of us used 180gr. GMXs exclusively on a Benelli/Hornady writer's hunt in RSA. Between hunting and culling we shot around 100 animals over the course of the hunt raging in size from springbok to eland. The GMX performance was excellent across the board-- I don't believe that a single animal was lost. Weight retention was excellent with all of the bullets that we recovered. You could line them up on the bar and basically tell the impact velocity based on the expansion. I came away a big fan and look forward to trying the CX on more than just paper before long.

All interesting reading. I'd add some but headed out in a few minutes for an NRL Hunter match for the next 3 days.
