    Pretty sure any medium sized animal shot hard in a kill zone with a 225gr pill is going to die real quick...regardless of bullet composition

    I have used them on sambar mv of 3100 1st was a 27" stag at 400yds and was a bang flop. Was just light enough to see and after the shot the deer had disappeared so I thought a miss but wonder over to check for blood and to my surprise there he was lying behind the log he was standing at before the shot. bullet had broken near side shoulder at wrecked all the meat on the far side shoulder so plenty of penetration. 2nd deer was a knob head at 300yds again bang/flop this small animal had a destroy near side shoulder but zero meat damage on off side shoulder so bullet construction is a bit light at 300 yards for a big stag or hind but should be excellent for longer ranges. In saying that going a bit slower out of a 7/08 or shooting lighter animals like fallow closer would be ok
