I don't know buddy,but if they are designed for deer go for it.

How tough of a bullet are they? If they are real tough better aim for shoulder.

Ain't no way I would take that much punishment for a deer sized critter. You must be a young buck.

They are fairly hard I am young I guess. Gun honestly doesn't kick to bad. I hunt 90% of the time with a 30/06 but I have some really long shots in a few places and I am trying to get it setup for a mule deer and elk hunt next year.

I'm just giving you a hard time buddy. Just a little good natured ribbing on my part. I would be willing to bet they will do just fine. I would however prefer a lighter bullet for deer but if you are zeroed with those I would much rather shoot them than something I hadn't zeroed in yet.

I use them in my 300wsm. Every deer & hog I have shot with them have dropped in their tracks. The only thing that makes me nervous about them is they do not leave a large exit wound. If you made a bad shot and had to blood trail makes me worry. But like I said every one I have shot in the vitals dropped where it stood.

I shoot Nosler Accubonds in just about everything. They have expanded easily and also held together.

If your wanting something to stretch out, that will hold up, and reload I have a hundred 210 bergers ill sell ya. Realistically on a white tail most bullet will hold up and perform just fine. Find one your gun likes and go have fun.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I've used them on black bear, plains game in Africa, and moose. Only things I have had to shoot more than once and that didn't drop in its tracks was a zebra & the moose. The zebra was my fault, 1st shot was low in the brisket, the next one was in the vitals and it dropped. The moose was dead after the 1st shot in the vitals, he hunched up and and was standing there coughing out blood. My guide started screaming to shoot, shoot, so I shot him 3 more times before he dropped. Bullets did exactly what they were supposed to do and all three were recovered on the far side hide, and perfect mushrooms. After all that I asked my guide why did you scream at me to shoot again he was dead standing. He said if one ever takes off running hey can run for miles before going down and i don't want to be tracking one in grizzly country. eek
