Years ago I showed up at deer camp one year with a box of them for my 30-06. My grandfather all but threw them in the outhouse. Claimed they were the worst bullet ever made and "just poked pencil holes in deer". He and his pards apparently had some bad experiences back in the 40s-50s. Worked fine for me on a few MI bucks.
