IMO those copper 225gr XPBs are terribly overlooked by the ML community. I would try the 44cal version but i never seem to get the accuracy i get from the 45cal versions. The BC of the 45-225 isnt that good and its why i said under 150 yards. They are longer than a conventional 250gr and that seems to help them reach out a little if you can gain a little more fps.

Expansion is excellent even at low fps and penetration is surprisingly good for a light weight. They are also usually cheaper than other copper options and are quite often on sale for about $16/20. So overall IMO its a great option and a reasonable price for a copper bullet for deer hunting.
