I shot a dall sheep with the 180 Nosler E-Tip last fall from my 300 Win Mag @ 400 yds and once at 70 yds. Nasty entrance wounds and holes in the hide. Looked like the ram had been slapped with a pancake at supersonic velocities. Shot a lot of game with 7mm and .308 accubonds and never had a comparable experience.
I'd have just as soon hit the ram with a Berger VLD, based on the damage observed from the E-tip.
I ran the 180 E-tip two years ago and noticed the big entrance holes as well. It almost appeared like the entrance holes were made bigger from the inside out. I did not think much about it at the time but it was different.
