[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1254538, member: 59915"] I use them in my 243. 2920 fps if I recal correctly. They shoot 1/2 moa out to 500 yards. I made the load for my wife but so far only my nephew and I have taken a deer with it. Nephew took his first deer. A button whitetail at 30 yards and closed his eyes on the shot. Barely even hit the deer in the low brisket. It ran maybe 40 yards. The bullet hit all bone in the brisket and did not exit. My deer was a 3.5 yr old 9 pt whitetail at 40 yards. Shot was perfect and the bullet passed through leaving a hole big enough to hide a ping pong ball in. Amazingly the deer ran almost 100 yards and I did not find a single drop of blood. I followed just the tracks in the leaves and I watched where it went. About 20 yards from where I lost sight of it I found it laying in a pool of blood. Both lungs were totally destroyed. How it went 100 yards I'll never know. In the pic is my 9 pt. the leg is slightly back from when I shot which is closing up the exit hole, but the hole was perfectly round at the width you see.
