That is awesome performance and if it can do that inside 100 yards where all of my shots are taking I would be very interested in seeing how my guns shoots them.
Here are pictures of the same bullet after it was shot through water jugs at around 60'. The load was 105g BH. The muzzle velocity was measured at 1855 fps. That bullet weighed 262.4g when recovered.


















Here is a deer killed at about 60 yard, with the same bullet/load, and the same rifle, on November 18, 2010. Note the entrance and exit holes are about 2".
