I will be using them again at some point because they are so crazy accurate but will be more careful of shot placement than I might with other bullets. No shooting a big buck at close range in the shoulder if he is quartering to me.
That's not something I would do JoeRE, given your view on the bullet. Even under the best of circumstances and careful shot placement we sometimes don't hit where we wanted or thought we would.

Why give up the chance to take a big buck at close range or bad angle because you don't trust the bullet? As for me, I would give up an inch or three in 100 yard group size to use a bullet that I know will hold together, expand and penetrate at any range. For me that's the Speer Deep Curl. But there are others I would have full confidence in also.
