    I have headshot Fallow with these opportunistically. Where they were considered pests. They stood still and went down lightning fast

    I've head shot pigs, same thing.
    I'm not promoting them as a Hunting projectile but I have used plenty and will use them some more.n

    I used them in the past on anything from Myna to red stag with no problem.
    As many others mentioned before, you want to hit lungs and heart and not the shoulder. Turns the chest content into soup and they don't go far but never leave a blood trail so be mindful of this.
