Used this ammo for sika deer stalking in the woods. The shot placement was consistent, and the recoil was very light. The bullet expanded predictably and hit the target with good penetration. Good for medium-range shots under 200m.
Owen Hodges –
Felt reliable during a recent fallow deer hunt. The round performed as expected with minimal recoil. The cone point design seemed to expand well without over-penetration. Would recommend for light game in open terrain.
Kimberly Berry –
Excellent accuracy and consistency. Felt smooth to fire in my FAC. The energy transfer was steady, and the bullet behaved as advertised in controlled expansion. Great for stalking in dense cover.
