was using winchester 50 gr silver tip.  i am still experimenting with ammo as my usual cannon is a
 200 gr .35rem
   the 50 gr was very effective but i was not expecting an instant explosion. as bullet impacted ribs at a slight angle it ripped a softball size entry wound. if i use it again for deer the shot will be broadside or at base of skull.        this  pic shows softball
