I was flipping thru a little add in a box of lapua brass and I seen that they have there own version of copper bullet . they call it a naturalis. Has anyone tried these on deer sized game. They are spendy I know that.

definitely not a 850 yard mouse hunt bullet but I have a few for my 9.3, did not get a chance to use them yet.

Flat-point look but wide hollow-point design--looks like a game death-hammer fer sure but I'm guessing likes to be driven fast for accuracy.

Not a long range design, but for the closer shots it would be a hammer. Ballistics would really fall off past 150yds, but pushed to 308 speeds it ought to be a decent 200yd bullet. If longer shots are anticipated, I'd look at other brands.
