I had some of these in 180 grain in a 300H&H back in the '70's to shoot a couple deer and a small bear. They were old then. The shots were at close range, under 50 yds. They pretty much blew up didn't penetrate well, all three were broadside behind the shoulder shots, two died pretty quick, but one deer ran about 300 yds, big wound on the surface, lungs and heart were full of fine shrapnel, no real hole in them, looked like they were hit with fine birdshot.
