What I care about is that this misplaced shot can cause unnecessary suffering and lost game. This is due to predictable factors, and is correctable.

Isn't that true for any round/gun? Just because you have a modern gun is no excuse to make a bad shot.
I already commented on this 50 pages back. I see more risky shots taken with big magnums than a hunter using a PRB. If anything a PRB shooter should be extra careful, because there's less room for error. It doesn't mean they don't work, but if they don't have the discipline to just take good shots. They shouldn't be using a PRB.
That's the bottom line, and you can't seem to see it. You seem to think if someone should fail with a PRB that nobody should use them. Couldn't you say that about any gun, and any bullet? One failure means failure for everybody?
