RE: Thoughts on the Dead Center Bullets
I shot them exclusively for several years (first the 250QT then the .357 Duplex DC 195gr when it came out).
My experience was that they are every bit as accurate as any bullet can be if you do your part on load development. They perform well on game at every velocity. Even the little 195gr, I shot a doe head-on in the chest and it flattened like nickel on the front edge of her stomach and she literally stood up on her back legs and toppled on her back!
The problem is you can't push them too fast. They have great BCs (though what PR publishes are shamelessly inflated), but the soft lead begins to deform around 1800-2000 fps in most guns and accuracy suffers. I got the 195gr up to 2000fps on the nose but groups flew open after that. I found that I could push the 200 Shockwave up to 2100fps and get the same trajectory for half the cost so that's what I do now (and besides my current Omega won't shoot them well at any powder charge over 80gr).
I talked to the owner at PR once and he refused to acknowledge the loss of accuracy at high velocity and blamed it on me, yet I know a TON of people who have experience with them and nobody I know can push them over 2000fps accurately. Given that the published BCs are lies I'll take the evidence of practical application over what the salesmen tell me!
Summary: Good bullet in terms of both trajectory and performance on game with the acceptable velocity range. Just expensive.
