[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2251441, member: 106514"] I have used and continue to use them extensively. Most of my experience is target shooting because if I have a finicky rifle that won't group with anything else, it will group with these. I can tell you that the 6.5mm 160gr in a Creedmoor is a BAD MACHINE on large hogs! The only one I recovered went through the skull between the eyes of a 300lb Russian boar looking dead on (about to charge), traveled several inches straight down the spinal column and lodged there. Expansion was perfect. Some will frown on this technique, but it is hands down the way to load these for top (hole within a hole) accuracy: Seat them out far enough to JUST TOUCH the lands! Do not jam them in, and don't stop just short! Seating depth needs to be pretty much exactly 0.000". The only problem I have with them is I can't find any!!! Good BC for a protected point bullet (.509 in 160gr 6.5), inexpensive for a premium bullet (or they were last time I found any to buy over a year ago), one of the top 2 or 3 bullets I've ran across for accuracy and performance in all of the following calibers: 6.5mm, 7mm, .30, and 8mm. If they made them in 6mm, I'd buy a .243 and never worry about another rifle! I really can't find enough good things to say about them. They have been my best kept secret for a few years now. I believe the shape and the way they expand creates a broad hydraulic shockwave of trauma to put animals down fast. They aren't weight sorted as well as Berger. More like Speer, so you may have a grain or most of a grain of variation within a box. I simply buy a couple boxes and sort them into like weights (as with all my other bullets). If you buy this bullet and learn to seat it where it likes to be seated, I don't think you'll ever want to hunt with anything else! [/QUOTE]
