My friend shoots them in his 280 because of that u can get a 100 Hornady for the price of 50 BT and he said the Hornady would  blow a bigger hole  he likes them and they group good too

They're accurate as heck in my .308 Encore, but performance on game was less than desireable.  I shot two feral goats last year with the 150 grain versions.  Although both had good shot placement, neither animal went down as rapidly or as cleanly as I would have liked.  They basically acted like big V-maxes:  minimal penetration with maximum expansion.  

My experience seems to be unusual though, everything else I've heard/read has been favorable when used on lighter game.

I still shoot them, but only at jackrabbits to keep me tuned up with the handgun.  My Encore likes 150 Silver BTs even better, so I'll be giving them a try this spring.
