They should work fine provided your rifle likes them. I have actually heard recently many good reports for both bullets on deer, though I think they aren't required for a rib shooter. I have yet to use the IB's other than on paper. However found a slight edge to the AB in accuracy and penitration in some minor testing. The IB's seem to expand a bit more, weight rentention was slightly higher with the IB into phonebooks..if that really means anything.

I did use the AB's in 160gr in my 7mm rem mag to harvest both a bull elk and moose this fall, each bullet was a complete pass through and did a good job on the vitals. No real heavy bone contact but I was pleased with the results.
