The last thing a hunter needs in their mind is doubt in their bullet when they pull the trigger. I don't care if it's the scientifically validated best bullet in the world, if an individual hunter has lost trust in the bullet they need to change.

There are just too many good bullets out there to think you HAVE to use a certain one.

240gr XTP, Precision Rifle Keith Nose (for under 150yds), Nosler, Gold Dot, 200gr Shockwave, Barnes....I could go on but I made my point. Any of them will work fine and though it's debated here ad nauseum my personal belief is that all of these bullets will get the job done about the same if you do your part. I think we fall for the marketing hype that pretends there is a difference when in reality, not so much.

Perhaps after this season I'll add the Leigh or FTX or both to that list, I'm waiting on more reports/experiences with both. The first reports with the Leigh seem to indicate it's as good as any.
