    Shot about 5-6 deer with them now and all of them have been awsome as far as bullet performance goes
    Not quite as Devastating as the photo but that’s a Special case as om pretty sure it was the bone fragmentS that done all that
    Pretty nasty

    Normal Performance is a very quick kill with about a 1” exit hole
    They generally fall over instantly if i do my bit
    Or never more than 30m away if I miss the mark slightly

    As far as distance goes ive only ever shot them to 200 on game (lack of opportunities at longer) I geuss that’s a good thing eh
    But looking at numbers they will be fine to 400 Possibly a bit further they are a bonded bullet and take a bit more speed to open up
    Than say an amax or something
    It’s not a matter if being able to hit the target these are very accurate bullets
    But you have to make sure you have enough Energy to make them mushroom
