I bought two boxes of these from Midway for $15 a box (50% off sale) and wanted to try them out for whitetails this year and give the roberts a break. They grouped fairly well (not as tight as the gamekings but better than the fusions) and yesterday I took a doe with them. It was about 125-150 yard shot and I hit her low behind the heart (brisket area?) but she went down pretty much where she was standing, however as I approached she was still alive and struggling so I put one in her neck. The first shot nicked her stomach on the way through and made a nice exit hole blowing what looked and feltlike fat out of the exit hole (looked like a shiitake mushroom sticking out of her). All in all I was impressed that the bullet was able to drop herwith marginal shot placement from me and was impressed with the exit hole. I give these a two thumbs. Oh, these were Federal factory loaded.
To be left alone most bullets will do the job they were made for. Some nowdays aren,t nothing but aflash in the pan,glad yours did what it should do for you. vangunsmith
