An underappreciated option. Good choice for distance and low impact velocity.

Last years ME whitetail (205# dressed) got a 270 gr BT at about 100 yds. Through onside shoulder blade, rib, vitals, rib, finished by wrecking the off-side shoulder ball. No exit. Maybe 10 yd run. Hobble, I meant. Impact velocity would have been about 2500 fps. No complaint......from me.
