Default RE: Interesting bullet?

I'm not sure I'm crazy about this bullet either, just thought I would get some other opinions beforestating it. My feeling is it has the potential to put game down quick but also has the potential to do a lot of meat damage.Seems to melike a shotgun slug that turns into buckshot at impact, i.e. easy to aim but more wound channels than a slug. I got the impression from the ad that they expect the bullet to expend all its energy in the animal and not neccessarily exit, I don't like that myself for the same reasons mentioned. They don't mention the exact "alloy" used but I would guess it is lead + something else. It could make a nice varmit bullet though.

The same company has a solid version (apparently) with a non HP nose, same 300gr weight, they specify for bear and such. That one seems to be designed to not expand much if any but instead punch a hole right through. While I like some mushrooming for wound size, this is more in line with how I want a bullet to perform. Good penetration with little meat damage and good blood trail if needed.

I would like to see some real world results from these bullets before I commit to spending half a dollar + each. I know this is cheaper than a PowerBelt but it's more than a lot of other bullets I know will work the way I want.
