[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1790601, member: 109113"] While I haven't shot a "train-load" of animals with them, I have shot a fair number of whitetails with a couple of the bullets you mentioned - the Winchester 64-grain Power Point, and the Speer 70-grain semi-spitzer. Both worked [I]extremely[/I] well on smallish whitetail does. This was something I tried to reduce meat damage, and I was shooting them out of a 22-250 at around 3300 fps. All shots were rib cage shots, and all bullets exited. Wound channels were not large, but every deer dropped on the spot. I was surprised at how suddenly it put them down. I have never shot any hogs with these bullets, but it looks like you've had good results. I was reluctant to shoot a deer, even a small one, right in the shoulder bones. From your results on hogs I think that if I had done that, I probably would not have had any problems with penetration. Hogs are built tougher than deer so anything that penetrates well on a hog should do just fine getting through a deer. [/QUOTE]
