There are many viewpoints on PB's. I did not have any trouble getting them to shoot accurate but I had to use 110gr and up to do it, the problem with that is the only way I could keep them from fragmenting after they hit was to turn brass or aluminium point and plug the hollow point with them. Now some people like a bullet that fragments, but if you use them that way be careful to only take broad side shots as the penetration is very limited. At that time choices for using an inline in certain states was very limited. Now there are other good choices like the Thor and the FPB, if you are forced to use a conical. If you live where you can use sabots a good bullet in a sabot is a much better choice for flatter trajectory for any longer range shooting. I have had very good results with the Hornady FPB and some have had good results with the Thor there are also some others available like the Bull Shop and No Excuses.
