I load this bullet with 65 Gr IMR-4350 and get same velocity as max load listed in Barnes manual. I shot a spike in Hill Country last year as it walked directly toward me at about 40 yards. The bullet went in the front and came out the "cheek". By look of exit, the bullet lost it's petals along the way, but chest cavity was mush and deer dropped. Also shot a bobcat at around the same distance and it left about a quarter sized exit.
