[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 124744, member: 2259"] I have shot deer with many calibers also as well as many with a bow and muzzleloader and I know where the lungs are on a deer. I have watched deer punched tight to the shoulder with this bullet and I am not impressed. Your not the only one that has tested bullets and shot a number of deer with that bullet. The shot placement has not been a issue. I have experienced devastating bone destruction with this bullet but when run through the lungs I have had deer run off 100-200 yds and lay down and not die quickly. I inspect bullet performance on organs after the kill and exit wound were merely just larger than caliber used holes. I have many friends that have tried them too with mixed results. If you prefer to shoulder shoot your big game they are lights out. Every caliber because of velocity has its niche bullet. The fast ones need a well constructed bullet which I am fans of accubond, interlock, partition, scirroco II, and a-frame. The slower moving cartridges a ballistic tip, game-king, and sst do a great job. [/QUOTE]
