I used it on a Muley a few years ago, they work pretty good. It was in a .300 RSAUM.

Barnes rock.  I use that bullet for both deer and elk.  It's a crusher- broke both shoulders in a big blacktail.  found it just under the skin on the other side.

Ive shot them and there accurate. took a few deer with them at moderate range and they did just fine. shot a bear with one at 30 yards and the bullet didn't open up at that close range. lost the bear and i don't shoot them any more. switched to accubonds and the performance is devastating on both bear and deer. i was shooting the 168's out of a 300 win mag

I am shooting the 168's out of my 300 win mag, love them. 2 bears, 1 elk, and a whitetail last year, none of them took a step after the shot. I recovered all bullets except the deer and they were a perfect flower peddle. I have no plans off shooting anything else. :)

MY bull was 30 yards, but it was a head on chest shot. I found the bullet in the liver fully expanded. The one bear was 60 yards, hit him in the high shoulder/ low spine area and broke him down. Bullet was on the off side hide. Same shot on the other bear just about 150 yds, and the same performence :dunno:
