Default RE: Has anyone tried Buffalo Bul-etts

If I am thinking of the correct item, my dad uses them as well as my brother in law. He (dad) has had a couple of shots, but failed to connect on the animals. Everything was good: fairly close range (<50 paces), animal was right on treeline standing broadside. Best as I could figure, the bullet sort of " sailed" . Posssibly from deforming the nose during loading? It may have just been that his gun doesn' t really care for them, seeing he had identical results (although they seemed good at the range). I' m not really sure.
The B.I.L. has had better results, connecting on two small forkhorns at approximatly 60 and 80 paces. The bullet performed considerably better (mushrooming and staying intact) at the farthest range. The first animal (60 paces) went about 25-30 yards. The second dropped in its tracks. Well, maybe a yard or two, lol.
