As the subject line asks, has anyone had experience with these slugs on deer?

ive used these in muzzloaders which are the same bullet. They are great. have killed 6 deer with them so far and they perform great. have even started looking at the SST's for my rifle calibers, which say's alot as i've always been a Sierra person.

 I shot an anterless last Winter with a buddies Savage 20 ga. It was about 100 yrds away & dropped right there, 20 ga SST. Of course you have to hit them right.
