Josmund,
I assume you are shooting a 45 caliber with the 200 gr hornady bullet?
If so they shoot like a dream with 110 gr of blackhorn but the performance inside the deer is dismal. I have shot two deer broadside at 30 or 35 yds and they did not pass thru. They both hit ribs, exploded
and one exited the butthole of a large doe. These loads cronoed at 2204 fps. If you are going to use 45 cal I would stick with the barnes solid copper for pass thru. Just my opinion. I have since gone to a 50 cal 290 barnes with 110 gr blackhorn.
