Has anyone tried the Hornady 325 gr. FTX slugs a trapdoor pressure and vel?  If so what was the outcome?

I made some up for the wife to shoot in my BC.  They seemed to work ok, but never used any on deer.  Accuracy was good, but I started having major second thoughts on using the bullets for deer personally.  Lotta people have had good luck, but I dropped back to the 300 gr. Hornady HP for really light loads at these levels.  ;)
