    I don't have a problem with them, too me they are plenty of bullet for the game you are after.

    I always think it's best to go with a bullet that is high in weight for the caliber you are shooting, a 180 grain fits that very well.

    Im sure it would be fine but as pointed out 1st choice is the premiums with the top 3 recommendations, in order as near as I can tell, being Barnes (TSX or TTSX), Nosler partition and Swift A-frame.
    The journey is the reward.

    Agreed, but would add Nosler Accubonds to this list. Stick to the 180gr.
