I've killed several deer with one, and at the start of this deer season had two rifles in that chambering. One did become a .308, but I still have the M700 ADL.

Most of the shots I get are close to very close, so bullet integrity can be challenged, and I've found three very good ones that seem to hold together well enough to punch through. Those are the TSX, the TTSX, and the Nosler 95 grain Ballistic tip.

I've tried the Hornady and Sierra offerings, and while very accurate, didn't punch through at close range. But the deer made it to the freezer, so who's to complain?
