I have shot some of them before but couldn't remember how well they blew up compared to V-Max particularly. Just got some of Calhoon's 42 Dbl HP to try and was wondering what to expect as far as terminal performance. Seems like I have read that they were pretty explosive.
Before plastic tip bullets came into the marketplace, I liked the 45 gr. Hornady Hornet bullet for the 221 FB.
