        Yes, the lightly constructed 85 gr Varminter is a bit small for deer weighing more than 80-100 lb. REF http://shootersnotes.com/ideal-bulle...bullet-weight/

            Yeah, it is too lightly constructed. There are much better options.

              Agree it is too lightly constructed. If I were to try it on a deer the shot placement would likely be broadside only and so the most it would hit is ribs witht he lungs right behind that. But three are lots of much better bullet choices for deer
