One of my PH's in Africa did not care for them on large game. He told me about a rodeo with a giraffe that I believe took 16 300 grain .375 partitions. I suspect some bad shooting was involved but the PH said it was due to the lack of straight line penetration.

I have never heard anyone else talk of this. With my own use I have noticed that especially at close ranges and high velocity that the front end would get lopsided sometimes and the shank was so short they did not penetrate as straight as a mono bullet would have. Still they worked well and dropped the animals quickly.

I would have no problem using them on everything but would probably go mono on really big game where penetration is in feet instead of inches.
