Where are these pics? Not doubting you at all, just haven't seen this report. I went with the PT Golds this past season (my first ML season) because I could get them to shoot the best in my ML (1 MOA) and I didn't have a ton of time to experiment with many different loads (tried 5 different bullets). I had just two kills (140yds & 50yds), but both left large exit wounds (the 140yd kill exit wound was quite massive), neither which would lead me to believe that the bullets broke apart.

The bullets are not all that expensive but neither are Gold Dots (Deep Curls) and there are, oh I dunno, one...MAYBE two folks on this board that swear by them.
