I killed piles of critters with them as a youngster in 30-30 and 30-06. I never disliked them until I tried them for several years in a 7RM. The added MV led to many large wounds with little penetration, but they always killed critters just fine. We always referred to them as "John Deere" bullets.
Don't know that I'd take them after larger game with so many tough bullets available, but there's probably been more elk and moose bagged with CLs than any other bullet available. My Dad carried his 25-06 and 100g CLs to CO once many years ago. He shot a nice bull at 150yds that made it about 15yds after impact. Blind luck I guess
