[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1013254, member: 69478"] Ya they are not recommended for hunting but have seen nothing but excellent results with them. We extensively tested the 168s in a pair of .308s this summer on groundhogs. All shots were between 150yds-550yds. At close range they made a mess of the hogs but that was when we connected with the shoulders. At farther ranges, they left a pinhole entry but 1.5inch holes on the exit side and dropped them all dead as door nails. If taking shots on deer, I would try and keep shots behind the shoulder because if you hit them in the shoulder its going to tear that deer up! If you are not worried about meat damage then shoulder shots won't bother you. We have yet to shoot a deer with one within 500yds so not sure exactly how much damage they will cause, I'm just taking an educated guess from what we seen them do on hogs. [/QUOTE]
