Anyone use them. They shot awesome from my 243ai but I am wondering how they perform on game. Here's how they group at 285 yards. The small boxes are 1/4 inch.

I have only used the 105VLDH on one antelope from a standard 243win, 8 twist Bartlein at 24". Speed IIRC was 2850 or so.
420 yards quartering to me, hit point of shoulder and exited in front of the off-side "rear shoulder". That's about 28" of animal it went through.
Not exactly what you are looking for but after seeing those results, I would not hesitate poking a deer with one.
