Never used that bullet. It looks like the jacket will allow the front portion of the bullet to mushroom while preserving some of the shank for gauranteed penetration. S&B says they are appropriate for cloven footed animals, but does not really go into size of the animal. S&B has a normal soft point load that you could also use.

I can say that the "ordinary" 150 and 165 gr loads from Remington, Federal and Winchester will work just fine on deer though. You don't need a "premium" bullet for deer.
