Anyone else use these?  What were your results?

I just picked some up ($17 @ Dicks Sporting Goods) for my encore and figured Id give 'em a try...

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

I literally had to use a wood block and tap them down the bore of my Omega.  Then the tips pulled out because they were stuck in the threads of the ramrod.   ???  I wish that they loaded more easily, they seem to be a beast of a bullet and should do a great job on big game.  I don't think that I'd use them on deer unless I had to, but I bet they'd be great on pigs, bears, and such.  The three that I did shoot with 110gr of FFg 777 didn't group well enough at 50 yds to make it worth fighting with them.
