I'm not sure which forum to ask this in but I stumbled across the ballistics on these and they look rather impressive besides being reasonably priced. Anyone have any info on how they really shoot? Thanks.

They are impressive like bigbuckkiller29 said. The only thing is you don't want to shot at a your game in the thick brush. The will deflect if they hit anything. Had it happen to me last year at one of the deer I took. That was a long search that could have been avoided had I known. Which I should have! Other deer that I took with them knocked them down in their tracks!

Thanks guys for the response and the tip on rifling. Per New England Arms my Ultra Slug gun has a 1:35" twist so the 2000 fps might be a bit much but I may try them anyway just to see. I found a place online that had 3" Lightfield Commander IDS that shoot awesome in my gun so I ordered 5 boxes. Thanks again.

ive been reading reviews and from what i can gather, they are typically very accurate in the right barrels, but many reported holes being small and tracking was difficult even on good shots...im looking for something that will anchor bear and deer...so im still searching...though i love hornady rifle rounds...
