It has been quite some time since I have purchased any PB's, but doesn't it say on the package of the 295 Lead Hollow points to use approximately 80-90 grains of 2f or RS, and no more? Think CVA was thinking of that when they put these things together, that a high impact velocity could cause malfunctions of the bullet? 80 grains should push these things at the 1400 fps range, which would in turn be about 1200 fps at 50 yards, well within the impact velocity range discussed. I agree, with all that is heard of these things failing, just might be people pushing them too fast with magnum charges, and short range shots that don't allow the velocity of the projectile to get below 1300 fps. I have no hunting experience with these bullets, only with T/C Maxi Balls, just an observation...

Later,
