Haven't used them on game yet, but they shoot pretty well from my 303 Savage over a moderate charge of IMR4320.

5 shot group from 50yds with iron sights.

I had tried them in a couple of 30-30s previously and they didn't shoot that great from either of them with any of the powders I used, though.

I found the 225grain super accurate in my 44mag but did not seem like they expanded well on deer.
I used the more for hogs but was not impressed by their performance. I have heard from some that other calibers and weights perform better.
