I've had good deer hunting success with the Hornady 123 SST. They dropped on the spot or within feet.
I tried the Barnes 120 TTSX on a few deer. Complete pass through with caliber size exit. Minimal blood trail. They seem to need more velocity to expand.
This year I tried 99g Hammer Hunter bullets. Two large-bodied deer at 210 and 240 yards. Excellent performance from lead-free projectiles.
Side note not Grendel related...I loaded HH bullets in the wife's '06. She had similar impressive results.
