I took a mule deer buck in WY this year with the 175gr 30-06 factory load. Slightly quartering towards me at 180 yds. I hit him right on the point of his near shoulder, it took out both lungs and half the liver and dropped in his tracks. Bullet was not recovered, passed completely through. The exit wound was about the size of a softball and his lungs were completely liquefied. I had used Barnes TTSX previously but decided to try these since they shot slightly better in my rifle. I plan to stick with this loading for the foreseeable future.
Great review. Thanks.
