I have used it in 350 Legend, 300 Blackout, and 7.62x39 on hogs. Hogs are my test subjects For bullets.. I have used it in 350 legend on deer. For whatever reason, expansion was way to rapid in 350 legend, on both deer and hogs. I won't use it again for deer in 350 legend. . That being said, it is awesome for 300 Blackout and 7.62x39. I see great results on hogs from 5-300 pounds in those calibers.

here is what it does to deer out of a .308 at about 75 yards quartering to shot on a small buck, probably 110 lbs. i still dont know how this deer ran 80 yards. my son has since been using copper impact xp's. they actually exit and similar to the power max bonded in stopping power.

im thinking they made the 30 cal bullets too frangible for close range shots, at least at higher velocity. some others reported the same on cabelas and midway for .308. it could be that he bought a bad batch of shells, those guys purchased them about the same time as we did. some of the ballistic tips werent snapped all the way in either. the 7 mag had good kill reviews.

i wouldnt be afraid to try them, they are plenty accurate and were fairly cheap.
