Killed a lot of other animals, but NP with one shot took out 9'2" brown bear (300gr NP at 2,700 fps); big moose (225gr TTSX at 3,160f sp); small deer (168gr AB 2,600 fps). The AB exit wound on the deer was after going through about 25" of deer. It's ferocious. But I likely would prefer the NP, TTSX or Etip if hunting large dangerous things. But that moderate velocity AB was pretty ferocious to me.
