I don't suppose that Pennsylvania deer hunting is too much different than Midwest hunting and our shot opportunities are not always textbook broadside like we would like. Heavier for caliber, but with that big exposed lead head they expand quickly yet have enough mass to go out the far side for a better blood trail. Just our experience with them.

Yes, 150 CL's don't always pass through depending on shot angle. Broadside they generally do. But I don't remember my Dad ever having to blood trail another deer after we switched to them
