I've tried with bad results! Some others love them, u just have to try them and c if ur gun will shoot them. I have 3 guns I get about 2"-3" groups but some really bad flyers sometimes as much as 8".

+1, My Huntsman absolutely hates them, it shoots EVERYTHING else great. The only one I ever got it to shoot worth a hoot, is the 260 grain KNIGHT PowerBelt. Yeah, Knight had a weak moment and marketed the enemies bullet.  ::) ;D

Some people never knew they even existed, Knight pulled them once they got a clue. ;)

I have a .54 Pedersoli that loves them.  I've never got them to shoot well in anything else.

   I don't shoot them now, but I had real good accuracy using the 348g Aerotips and 90 grains of 777-2f. I now started using the new Hornady FTB bullet and these shoot great also. The powerbelts are still a good bullet(heavy ones) and easy to load , it is that I wanted to try something different for now.

I have used the 245 grain in my huntsman.  I honestly thought they shot very accurately and I have killed deer with them out to 100 yards with no problems.  My biggest complaint with them is the cost.  I shoot a lot and to pay that money was ridiculous.  I can mold a bullet and buy a sabot and kill deer just as dead and much more cost effective.
