I have killed 4 deer and 4 hogs with LeverEvs in my 30-30's, and my son has killed 1 hog and 1 deer with them too. The bullets have performed perfectly every time, but the shooter still has to do his part.

I will admit that there is more internal damage with LeverEvs than the 150 gr round nose bullets that I had been shooting, but the game doesn't ever go far, if anywhere.
