Yeh l have we used it in Africa as at one point Reloder was all we could get ,note while l was guiding in the tropics & Africa l always settled on just good accuracy & game performance from "mild" loads for my rifle ,rather than speed to allow for the heat, as rifle most often sat in the dash racks rather than packed away in a case .
Again with the 180 TTSX l ran it at around the 3100-3150fps & it is devastating on game,the only 200's l ever used were the 200grn Nosler Partition with Reloder 33 & from my old load data they were doing just under 2850fps & the 200gr TSX FB with Reloder 25 again doing just under 3000fps.
I found Norma brass is by far the best as far as reuse & is apparently who Weatherby use for their excellent loads & preferred Rem 9 1/2m Primers or Fed GM215M's .
