Dunno exactly at what range/speed they stopped performing well but I reckon sub 150m they'll still go well on most stuff including deer.

@Pommy I'm out of the 55 gold dot (gave some to a forum member) but even after your very good advice I gave up on them. I got the 55 Sierra game king shooting really well and they perform really well on wallaby - but then they became unavailable.
Ive had the GK on indent with Outdoors Supplies for a month but had given up on them until March or so but lo and behold 400 arrived by courier today. Great service.

I will still give the 62 GD another try just out of curiosity.
