Barnes Triple Shock bullets

Has anyone used these bullets before? I was thinking about loading some up for my 30.06 for hunting whitetail. I was thinking about using 180gr. Where I hunt, my shots are made at 100yds or less. Is this a good choise or is this bullet to slow expanding for the thin skin of a whitetail? Thanks,
Ben

They will certainly kill your deer plenty dead, but it's not really what they were designed for.
If you do use them be careful and pay real close attention to the loading data that must be used with them.
A plain old flat based 165 gr anything would be better than the 180 gr Barnes

Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.
excellent bullet but for white tail is probably an overkill. I have been using sierra gameking for years with excellent results and at a fraction of the cost
