Are you a sock puppet?

I can't imagine you would consider this even remotely appropriate for deer. Having worked in a game processing plan I've seen similar bullets splash on the ribs. They leave a real mess.

Do yourself a favor, and use a real bullet like the 60gr Nosler Partition.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
