They seem to work about as well as T/C Shockwaves on targets... but not as well on deer-sized game. Most of the PTX issues concern fragmentation. Kind of why T/C decided to the Shockwave route instead. Your PTXs are either now discontinued or about to be by T/C. My Omega loved them (250s) with 105 gr. FFF 777

I have settled on a bullet made by Hornaday with mag express sabots for my deer rounds. I have not had a chance to try this combo on deer but it should work well in a magnum rifle. I use the 265g interlock flat point made for .44mag carbines and it shoots real well out of my Encore and Scout.
In the encore I load 120g loose 777 with a T/C mag express sabot and these bullets and it is the most accurate 100yd round I have ever shot. It is very close to my .308 in this range so I give that load the thumbs up in my Encore.
If you can use one of the four outboard sighting targets on a standard sight in target you know it is shooting well. Hitting them 1/2 bulls is a rush.

I shoot the 250 grain PTX and they work great. Very accurate out of my Black Diamond XR. I think (although not certain) they are like a XTP with a plastic plug. I have no idea how they work on deer because they would not cooperate....
