they should do just fine...my dad shoots fedrals 165 gr nosle balistic tips....most of the shots are about 30 yds...he shot 3 deer in the last 2 years not one took a single step...im switching to them this year myself since hes shooting a 8mm mauser this year...they perform pretty good...they arent as devistating as some make them out to be.....i heard them and hollow points rip them apart to much....i shoot hollowpoints and got the same results as my dad....wounds are identicle....but i dont get wehre people can say they are to devistating....then again maybe they are compared to a normal soft point....ive never shot one....
