    These are the bullets I have used in my 22 250 for a long time. They have taken a few reds and fallow and quite a few goats. I find they are reliable killers even on bigger animals. One fallow buck my wife shot many years back was hit in the brisket at about 60 yards, he spun round and tumbled into a gully. When we gutted him we found the bullet jacket in the middle of the gut bag. With good bullet placement they are deadly. On rabbits they are dynamite and recently I used them on Bennet Wallabies also found them very effective. Probably the only place you wouldn't want to hit an animal is in the shoulder blade on a big stag, you may get blow up on that shot. Lung shooting and they don't go far at all.
