The .284 180 is indeed light in high BC terms.
The new .284 195 Berger when it arrives will be exciting for the .284 guys but it still will be light as far as shooting way out there at game.
The other small issue is will it expand way out there ?
If it is a little hard as the new Bergers appear to be the whole point of a high BC projectile becomes an issue if they don't work well on game as they slow down.
The .308 230 Otms seem to be working well on game, I'm not sure about the 230 Hybrids can't find out much about them, I will be shooting some this weekend.
The .338 300 Otm & Hybrids are working well on game.
I would assume that the yet to be released .375 350 will be much the same, the BC may not be startling but we will see the .375 is growing stronger & stronger

I haven't done much testing with the CE .375, 400 & 425s on game yet but what I have seen has impressed me, the sheer size & energy alone seems to do a lot of damage.
