I've shot 10-12 deer with them and the farthest any one went was about 50 yard or so. So I have no complaints. As for performance, I've never found a bullet as they were all pass throughs but the internal damage was severe.
One buck I shot with a 200 gr 10mm bullet was a legitimate 200+ lb 10 point that only ran 35 yards before piling up. Both lugs destroyed and top of heart busted up.
For some reason, again my opinion, people think they need a premium bullet for deer size game. I don't believe they have evolved into some kind of armored super deer. Now if you get significantly better accuracy from a bullet like the Lehigh or if your state does not allow lead projectiles then by all means I'm all for using them.
