I tried loading them backwards as big hollow points in the late ‘79’s but got inconsistent results in accuracy and expansion. Sometimes I’d get some tipping of bullets on the target and sometimes the hollow base would just mash flat.
I haven’t bothered trying them again since then.

Had some loaded in my S&W model 28, shot a ground hog at 25 feet, made a mess and stopped him right there.

I haven’t bothered trying them again since then. My experience as well. I much prefer Hard Cast full Wad Cutters. Better penetration and accuracy too.

I messed around with those years back, and as navlav8r said, I found accuracy and expansion iffy at best. I have stayed with JHP and JSP bullets ever since

You all didn't mention any ranges. How about for spittin' distance, they work there?
