Default Power Point bullets?

Has anybody used these for hunting? I just picked up some winchester power point 140 grain for my 7mm08. I was shooting a federal ballistic tip, but I switched to the cheaper ammo. How do they perform?

I'll be shooting them in 150gr PSP out of my 7 Rem Mag this fall for black bear and whitetail. I've killed quite a few deer with 150gr RN or FN from my 30-30 with no complaints. The recoverd bullets have all been intact with good weight retention....somewhere averaging around 75%.

Never been able to get them to group worth a flip.

I've never gotten a decent group with Power Points either, although this could just be my rifles expressing their particular preference.

Surprisingly enough the .30 caliber 165 grain Remington CoreLokt bullets group extremely well in my rifles, and they cost about half what Hornady bullets cost, with about the same performance on paper. Next month I am going to try them out on hogs and see if they're as good on game as they are at the range.
