I have use the fail safes in my 300 WSM,very good transfer in energy to the animal.
I shot a mulie buck at 40 yds with one,bullet through both shoulders,totaly pulverising oppisite side.Buck ran 50 yds and piled up.
Should be about the same out of the winnie.

Moose, I have been shooting 165grn fail safes through my .300 win mag this summer and they have demonstrated excellent accuracy. Consistent 1" groups @ 100yards. I have not tried the 180's but would be willing to bet that they will serve you well.
