Wow, after looking in my Hornady reloading/ballistics book, in the front index the 140gr A-max has a check mark indication it is suitable for medium game. Well ain't that some $hit!?

I know it says its a match bullet, but velocity isn't THAT high so I'm sure it would stay together and do a number on a deer. Thoughts?

Yes it is a match/target bullet, but it is also a varmint and medium game bullet as the Hornady reloading manual, 8th edition, page 99 describes. 

You will be fine by using it.
