Default Fantastic!

I used them this year for the first time and not only got great accuracy from them but great performance on the 2 deer and 1 hog I shot with them.
7mm. Rem. Mag. 150 gr.
First deer was a nice 10 point at a whopping distance of 17 yards away. Quartering to shot. Entered breaking the onside shoulder and jellied the lungs and exited at the back of the rib cage on the off side. The bullet held together and punched a nice nickel sized exit hole. Buck dropped like a box of rocks.
Second deer was a small spike at about 125 yards. Same quartering to angle. Same entry through shoulder and ALMOST exit at back of ribcage on the offside. The bullet was perfectly mushroomed and bulging under the skin. This little dude actually made a 20 yard mad dash before piling up.
(I'm still amazed at what a deer can take and still run!)
The hog was about 200 lbs. and apx. 50 yards away. Shot was quartering away. Entered at back of ribcage, traveled all the way through, and smashed the offside shoulder. Bullet didn't come out, and the hog was so nasty I didn't have the desire to cut him open to dig for the bullet.
Overall....I'm very happy with them.
