I have a box of them for my 336c .35rem, but I actually haven't done anything more than look at them. I've read the hype, but I've been curious to hear first hand from people who have used them if they have expanded well, etc. Basically, how do they work in the field and were there any noticeable downsides.

I have tried the "Starfires", but not the "Evolutions".

Before all thenew .30-30 ammo, I always used aPSP Federal or Winchester for my first shot in the chamber and the otherFN in the tube.

This last summer I worked up a load for my 22-250 using Barnes XFB 53gr Triple Shock Bullet pushed along with 35gr of Hodgdon's Varget Power, CCI 200 Primers and Remington Cases. I've shot four hogs since Jan 1st, wts. from 140 to 240#, three were from 100 to 130 yds and one from 87 yds. All were shot just ahead of the shoulder and all stopped in their tracks. The Triple Shock is a solid copper bullet thats hold together but open on impact with four leaves that tear the H out of the hogs insides. Will post pictures when I figure out how to reduce the size of the files.

Look closely at the heads of these hogs, this is what a 30/30 does to hogs, we have since switched to a smaller caliber. Pay special attention to the fourth hog from the left.

I use either my 30-06 or 9,3x62 or rem 870 with slugs.

I am not a fan of those smaller calibers when it comes to hog-hunting.
