Yes, in my Savage with 44g of 5744, which is about 2000 fps. Here is my shooting results:

I never used them for hunting, and I didn't select them for my Savage because they didn't hold up to my 1.5" standard, which I shot with several bullets.

That's the bullet I have been using this year. I use the 300 gr PT gold with 110 gr of BH209 out of a Knight LRH and my groups are under a half inch at 100yds. (sorry I don't have pics this year) Muzzle velocity is around 1950 FPS. I didn't get a deer this year so I can only go by what I've read about them. I understand they are a hard lead bullet electroplated with copper and it is sugested to shoot for the shoulder for max expanison and energy transfer. The author of the article rated it as his top choise for his muzzleloader hunting. (Muzzleloader Magizine)

I think that was written by Toby Bridges, he is sponsored by Harvester. Chap

I have shot them in my Triumph and genesis. I get the same POI as Super Glide Shockwaves. I have about 4 packs left but haven't used them for hunting this year because I have about twice as many packs of Shockwaves to use up. The crush rib sabot loads extremely easy and I got about 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards, 6 inch groups out to 200 yards and 9 inch group at 250yards.
