[QUOTE="Pons, post: 601021, member: 32348"] Maybe not the "ideal" hunting bullet as most would consider it, but I've done it. Shot top of heart, bottom of lungs, deer ran about 25 yds, could see the "red mist" after the shot. Have a buddy worked swat, used his work rifle and GMM for deer hunting, worked fine. Again, both of these cases shot placement was not an issue. I seem to remember a study somewhere that found these tend to break into 3 pieces upon penetration. These will do damage, as with anything, you don't use a wrench for a hammer, (of course almost everyone does and has ;) ). I feel with good shot placement you would harvest the deer, but there are more destructive rounds out there that will have higher odds of lethal / finding your game with more forgiveness for error. It would not be my first choice for a .308 win. I think there are some other threads on this site on this subject. Happy Hunting! [/QUOTE]
