I can easily live with that kind of damage. I was thinking in terms of a whitetail. I've shot them with conicals and the damage has been terrible. I guess one reason I still use roundball. But this bullet is interesting. And where I am hunting now, planting them where you can is important. If they run into the "thick" (as we call it) they can be a real job to get them out.

That group with the Savage must have made you smile a lot. Also 200 yards is a long way out there. That would be some exceptional shooting for that distance.. Nice shooting there.
