Great for deer, better for deer and elk. They penetrate deeper than a spire point. They will perform great.

Hornady lists that bullet as a "varmint" bullet with excellent results on small game to 100 yards. I would be keeping them for the 'yotes and get something more "bigger" for deer and in no way shape or form be launching one of those soft tiny bullets at an elk.
Magnum_Willys:
Would not use on the type of deer or elk I shoot at.

Thanks for info guys,still not sure yet ,if I can find a load that will be as accurate as I need,so still working on loads for it .
I did see it says varmint bullet,but I thought cause it was a flat point soft point for a lever action that it might have some great expansion I might have to test it and see if I can get a bullet in wet paper.
