Ive only used the Barnes 458SOCOM 300gr TTSX on deer. It went through the doe like butter destroying everything in its path.
I don't know how, but they are. They open up easier then the Barnes too.

I would personally save the non-lead bullets for tough animals where penetration is key or for rifles shooting above 3400fps where a regular bullet will go to pieces.
