Whelen is a Ruger Hawkeye with a leupold vx3 3.5x10

My Whelen is a Ruger Hawkeye with a leupold vx3 3.5x10 set up with a brake and a Boyd's stock.
I'm unable to reload for the foreseeable future and the only factory load I've found that shoots to near moa is the barnes 180ttsx. Also the federal 225tbbc but those can be very difficult to find at times.
For those with experience would the 180ttsx be too light for African plains game? Wildabeest, zebra and such?
I've taken 1 whitetail deer, 1 pronghorn doe, 1 bull moose and.....a Turkey with it.
I also shoot a Sako AV .300 win mag but the current scope is a 6x18 and feel that might be too high magnification for potential closer shots.
And I know the Simms rubber vibration thing is ugly as sin but was trying everything to get better groups.
