I'd say go for it. I've used them on over a dozen whitetail and one aoudad sheep. Bang, flop, retrieve. I've never had any take more than one round, and I've personally never had any huge exit wounds. The aoudad was shot at 125 yds and you couldn't hardly tell where I hit it. The whitetails were anywhere from 100-400 yards and they didn't leave a huge hole either. I believe they are running 2,950ish out of my 7mm rem mag, but it's been a while since I've been able to chrono them. If you can find them, keep shooting. I simply can't hardly find them, so I may switch. To me, it doesn't matter if the company calls it a target bullet or a hunting bullet, both will kill with descent shot placement. Some might think its wrong, but I prefer to hunt with the target bullet because they shoot better. I want the gun to be as accurate as it can, which I find especially important when hunting. That and the fact they have always killed what they have hit. Until that trend changes, I'll continue to do so. I'll be curious to read your input if you decide to use themgun).
