it’s a good bullet. My dad took a bull elk with the 180 in his 300 WBY a number of years back. Only needed one shot and it did the job like any other partition.
I’ll be loading all of my remaining 145gr HHTs in my 280 AI in the next week. Got a good load put together in November and just haven’t ran another bulk batch.
