Harvested my first buck with this projectile last Friday.Previous deer I've taken have been with power belts and barnes TMZ's.The power belts knocked them down pronto but I was not happy with them at the range.The barnes although extremely accurate seemed to pass through with little blood trail.Although I found the animals I wondered if I missed as I seached the woods.The advice I had gotten was to shoot the shoulder for better knock down.The other avice was to try the Parkers.Put simply,if you hit the vitals they ain't going far!What a devestating bullet to the vitals!I highly recommend them if you have had some of my experiences. I'm a believer!
