I would like to try a heavy bullet for metal silhouettes. I can take down the pigs and turkeys with 158 gr bullets but the Rams laugh at me, when I can hit them. Any thoughts on using the Remington 180 Gr Semi_JHP in a S&W revolver. I have never loaded anything heavier than the 158 for my revolvers. Saw them on Special in the Midway flyer this month

How would this round perform in a Marlin lever action.
