Thank you for your reply. I guess I assume you are shooting an Encore?

Hunting accuracy of the bullet has never really been a question. Their accuracy for the most part has always been there - I do often question their performance on animals. And I should qualify that also by saying I think in the hands of an experianced user they will perform as you suggest.

My hunuting partner uses them in his 54 hawkin and he has learned to use them - at first, when he began it was pretty messy and pretty brutal. He made shots that I believe should have done the job but didn't, various reasons the bullet blew up, it passed through without expanding, got caught in a major bone, etc - now he is more particular about range and location.

Again thanks...
