Hornady American Whitetail

Use it in my Ruger American Compact in 7mm-08.

The tally thus far is 6 dead deer with 7 shots. Except for the spine shot deer, all were DRT.
 
They are accurate but in my experience they blow up in deer. I shot a few deer and need a metal detector to eat the meat.

Accuracy is not the best but perfect for woods hunting but kills well with no over expansion.

I havent shoot any deer with them but they have shot great out of both my 7mm08 rifles I have tried them in. I use them to get on paper for zeroing in my other loads.
 
I use the 150 gr in my 308 Savage 10. Killed probably 20 with it, almost always a bang flop. I tried the 165s in it but they didn't group very well at all, but the 150s shoot very good. If you hit the shoulder they tend to blow up, but I'll take a little meat loss over a lost deer any day.
 
I bought some to try out my Ruger Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor because it was on sale for $16 a box. 129 grain bullet, rifle would shoot under 1/2 MOA. Now I am debating if I should reload some of the brass or just buy more ammo since I don't shoot it that much. Yes, it was that good in my limited experience.
 
I'm shooting the 150gr in a R700 .308 with a 1/10 twist. Accuracy with them is good, but I've only killed one deer with them. Double lung and broadside at 25yards so I'm pretty sure a .22 would've done the trick.
