You could be on to something there sneeze. As I said they seem more frangible than the few results I have seen of them in other cals.
I actually have a box of 178gr I was going to try thinking they might give me a bit of a wind advantage and going a bit slower be a bit more of a "do all" round............... but assuming 100fps drop with the gain in weight windage @ 600 is the same and realisticly that is max for me and this cal on game even the it has to be great conditions. So I havent even loaded one yet
