Once again, look thru the replys and the majority of naysayers were using the Sierras in magnum chambering velocittes. 375h&h, 7 mag, 338. It's not the bullet ,it's the shooter that has selected the wrong bullet for his magnum. I hunted elk for years with the 180GR Sierras in my .06 and had many one shot kills,also using the Sierra 220 gr round nose
