I've always been unsure about PB's. Over time I started to change my mind, and question some of the failing reports. Even if i've killed 50 animals with them. I still wouldn't recommend them. I know under the wrong conditions they can fail.

I can only control myself when using PB's.
See! I think for you that PB's might work very well! and I am making a bunch of assumptions here but I think I will be close the base.

1. Basically you really are a PRB shooter/hunter and have been for ages and ions. You have learned what to expect from a PRB
2. You use very moderate charges of powder - basically you not a fan of recoil.
3. You are really not interested in extended ranges - you stay within a given range for the projectile you are using.
4. You are not a fan of tracking - your shot will be taken with a very high degree of calculation to nearly guarantee your quick success.

Just a few thoughts to help explain why the PB might work for you.
