I dont think there is a bullet that I would never use. I used to shoot PB and did stop using them from all the negitive remarks on here about them. I had only shot two deer with them when I quit using them and both bullets performed just fine. I have never shot any of the Maxi hunters Dave was talking about, but I have shot many many deer with the TC maxi ball and have never had a one of those to fail me. My wife shoots the Barnes expander MZ out of her rifle and those bullets perform flawless so far. I have yet to shoot my new bone collector but I intend to start out with bonded shock waves out of it. I have shot 1/2 dozen deer with the shock waves with no problems. What bullet I use really depends on which ml I am using.
