[QUOTE="bigbrother, post: 556843, member: 1813"] I would advise against them on deer. I shot a number of them along with the 142smk and had dismall results on groundhogs with the 140. No expansion whatsoever with the 140. They performed drastically different that the 142. Also shot along side a fellow with a 6.5 Gibbs and he couldn't kill a groundhog with them either. The bullet would pencil through, the groundhog would run to its hole. Seeing those results, I never tried to shoot a deer with them. It was a shame as they shot wonderfully out of my 6.5x284 as well. I switched to shooting AMAX's which are a phenomenal game bullet at those velocities and then switched to Bergers due only to the bc advantage. Both of those bullets work great. [/QUOTE]
