My pard and I have shot several deer with Horn 154 RN out of 7-08's and the results have been nothing less than spectacular. A few have been shoulder hits, and a couple were frontal chest hit. All have exited so I don't have a bullet to show you.

I have no doubts the 154 Horn Spire would have produced the same results. At .280 Rem, 7x57 or 7-08 typical velocities I consider either of the 154 Horn bullets a "premium" and a very close second to the 150 Nos Partition in on game performance.

If you look at enough pictures on the internet, I think you will see a larger frontal diameter on recovered 154's RN's from water jugs. The game animals you will shoot with either won't be able to tell the difference....
