The 158 jacketed flat point is prolly the best choice for rifle length barrels. I'd expect some expansion from the 180 but not a lot. I believe you are talking about the spitzer type if I recall that bullet correctly. It was designed for those super long barrel single shots some call handguns. I can't recall tho which round it was intended for, I think the .35 Remington mostly but also the Max.

I want a lethal dose at short range without recoil for my kids. Thanks for the reply.
