I haven't used the 210-grain Cutting Edge Raptor on any game yet, but have used other Raptors and their terminal performance is impressive. But my range testing also indicated the BC's are lower than CE lists, and they're not all that high in the first place.

The 210 gets around 2850 fps with 66 grains of Reloder 15 in my CZ 550. Accuracy is plenty good enough for big game at "normal" ranges but not outstanding in this rifle.

The 232-grain Norma Oryx (essentially the bonded version of the 232 Vulkan) gets a little over 2700 with 64.0 RL-15, and groups under an inch, but again the BC is so low it doesn't shoot as flat as the 250 AccuBond at 2650 fps.

For a low-cost deer bullet I would go with the 270-grain Speer, since it will usually group in the same place as 286's.
