I have not used the 123 SST on game because neither of my rifles will shoot them under about 2" at 100 but I did kill a deer with the 120 Speer Gold Dot last season and I would not want a better bullet. Shot the deer in the chest as it faced me at 111 yards. BANG FLOP! Chest looked like you set a weed eater loose in it and bullet penetrated about 20" and exited the belly with a thumb size hole, shot was from a shooting house shooting on a downward angle. No evidence of fragmentation of bullet but HUGE hydro effect. Muzzle velocity was 2550 fps from the 20" barrel driven by 28 grs IMR8208 which is fine in my rifle, Hornady case, CCI 450 primer.
