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.
I have never shot any .430 diameter bullets.a lot of other folks on this site do with outstanding results..so i thought i would try some lol.
