    Bottom line is that this bullet is explosively violent on goat size creatures and makes a horrendous mess. It’s turned a couple of them inside out, literally pushing all the guts out of the hole on the exit. I was using them for head and neck shooting deer as they were very very accurate in my 22” Tikka. I don’t recall chest shooting red deer with them as I think I decided not to. This was about 4-5 years ago so a bit hazy now sorry.

    IIRC when I went to buy another box I couldn’t find them, and moved onto old stock of A-Max and Nosler BTs.
    Thanks mate, I'm in two minds if to use them on deer, I'm not to keen on massive amounts of damage, might need to try something else even though it shoots really well
