The 300gr Lehigh extreme penetrator bullets are some of the most accurate bullets out of my 458 socom AR build. Lehigh says they perform some kind of wound damage enlarging the would channel to equal that of a conventional expanding bullet.
I've read some net wisdom that claims this is false and it's not a good hunting bullet. Point is--I'd like to use it for deer inside of 200 yds since it performs so well out of my AR--but don't know if it's up to the task of a quick ethical kill (assuming I do my part). Part of me says "what the heck--even if it doesn't expand a nearly half inch hole is still pretty big."
opinions/suggestions?
