It's pretty typical "small and fast" results. They work, but rarely exit.

IIRC, the kid I know who shoots one shoots soft points. I couldn't tell you what weight, but I'm sure it's heavy. She's killed three deer with it that I know of. None of them went anywhere.

ETA: I am by no means advising the use of a .223 though. Exit holes are EXTREMELY important IMO.
