Havent shot any game with them yet. Tried them for the first time this year. If I keep my barrel cool , they shoot into a nice little group about 1 1/2 inch. with 70 grains BH209.. Ive got some 200 grain SSTs & some harvester 50/40 sabots. Gonna get to the range this week & settle in on a hunting combo for the year. The last couple years Ive used 250 grain XTPs, with no complaints. From what Ive read on here, the gold dots are a good bullet, If the SSTs dont group as well, Im using the Gold Dots
