tenn, I hunted with the bigmouthed 250Xbullets in my Knight for several years and NEVER lost a deer with them. I just wanted to shoot farther and went to 200 grain " RedHots" wich are also Barnes but have a different profile and much smaller hole in them. I have several " in their tracks kills" in the 100-150yds with them. And they' ve always exited btw!

Might wanna try em.
