This is a good thread.

I have been stockpiling these bullets in all calibers for some time. I have never used them on game but suspected the soft lead core might upset well with magnum velocities although one poster here says not so in his case with the .357 types as fired in certain types of media.

However, if I remember correctly they expanded well when fired into soft, sifted sand in one gallon jugs. But EVERYTHING expanded when shot into that medium if shot fast enough.

The only version I have been unable to find is the .44 Magnum 225 grain hollowpoints and the .41 Magnum 200 grain hollowpoints.
