I shot a pile of deer with that same bullet in my 7mm-08, but in the Light Magnum loading. I shot a 180 lb. buck at approximately 25 yards, coming straight to me and it penetrated all the way through the deer and I found what was left of the bullet under the hide of the hindquarter. The bullet had expanded down to the interlock ring so the mushroom I found was quite small but I found fragments of jacket throughout the deer. Needless to say, that buck never made it over 50 yards. The rest of the deer that I shot with those bullets had exit holes so it is a pretty decent bullet. The only reason I quit using them was because the Core lokts that I used before this were much cheaper and I always got the same basic results with them and couldn't really tell that much difference.
