I wasn't too terribly worried about the possible lack of expansion on the whitetails primarily for several reasons.

1-I make sure I know my target and behind
2-I have refused to take shots before with much more "volatile" bullets simply because I didn't feel confident that I could put the bullet where I wanted it (usually a range estimation problem on my part)(that is one thing I need to practice more).
3-Even a solid at 2500fps (prob closer to 2450 or so by the time of impact I should think??) ought to cause enough hydrostatic shock in the vital area to disrupt enough vital organs to cause a swiftly fatal "condition".

I should like to try the Hornady 300grs on deer!!

Thoughts?

Thanks for the interesting comments gents
