I shot them last year out of a 260 Remington. 129 grain SST's at well under 3000 fps. Shoulder shots, neck shots and rib shots. All equal dead deer. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. The caveat being that the starting velocity be under 3k fps. (or the shots taken be at 150 yards or greater).
Each his own.
That's the bullet my mom was using. Shot was 175 yards and the bullet blew up on the shoulder near as we could tell. Deer never recovered. Not worth the gamble if you ask me.
