Well I killed two deer this year using this load. The first a small doe dropped in her tracks but was spine shot. The second kill was a medium size buck 8 pt, I shot him at 35 yds thru heart. He ran approx 100yds and no blood for first 50. No exit hole, found the bullet on far side just under the skin. Shot was broadside with slight angle. Bullet performed textbook well as you can see from pics. I believe this to be a great hunting round for cheap.

Thanks for sharing Bakerby.
Congrats on the harvest! I'd agree that the Fiochi 10mm 180gr JHP looks just how it should and the performance was just what a hunter would look for. Might make a decent choice for personal defense too although I'd personally like to see a sample test or two of how it handles heavy clothing first.
Great shooting the key to harvesting game is great shot placement. You did your job the bullet did its job.
