Saw this topic on the OTHER forum and thought id share my experiences here. Thoughts on the below? reviews on PBs?
Here's some first hand experience this morning. I sighted my open sight muzz with 245gn PB hollow points for 50 yards and had the holes touching. Very satisfied with the accuracy. However, I never had an opportunity to shoot anything with them. I shoot Hornadys in my scoped 100 yard muzz and I've had great results with accuracy and terminal ballistics with them.
My brother was going to sit in a ground blind this AM that only had a 30 yard max shot, so I told him to use my open sight muzz b/c his has a scope on it. He said that was a good idea and took mine. Right at sun up, he has a bunch of hogs in front of him at 20 yards and he takes a crack at a nice 80-90lb guilt.
Smoke clears rapidly, thanks to the wind this AM and the sees the hog run away. He waits a while and a buddy of mine meets him at his stand to take up the blood trail. Well, between the hog being a good draggin size and the blood being fire hosed on everything, he didn't need much help. They found the hog 40 yards down the trail.
While he made a perfect shot, the pig didn't go far, and the blood trail was more than you could as for.....we will be switching to Hornadys or shockwaves.
There was not even an attempt at an exit wound. The bullet completely exploded on impact like a bomb, and if it wasn't for great placement and a little luck I seriously doubt we would have found the pig. While cleaning her, we found shrapnel all around the wound. It completely destroyed the one lung, but other than that, the hog was relatively untouched. The shrapnel didnt carry to the other lung, the heart, guts, spine, or liver. It was really interesting.
We all decided right there, there was not enough damage for our liking and we will count our blessings while eatin backstrap tonigt.
Here are a few pics.
That's what I'm talking about... blood trailing at a walk love it. Pork chops on the grill!
:saluting
i shoot the powerbelts at the range, buty will be switching to hornady or tc. the accuracy is good, but on advice from others here at the forum i dont feel confident with their penetration.
R-s i saw your post and have seen the same thing

I'm using Hornady SST's but still not getting pass thru's. the one on the left was from last year. 175 lb 8 point at 40 yds. That maybe ran 30 yds after the shot. Not 1 drop of blood and found it just under the skin. The one on the right was from a couple weeks ago on a 150 lb hog. 30 yds and drt. Also found it just under the skin. 
My buddy popped a doe last week with a hornady and had the exact same results. Ran maybe 35 yds. They're doing the job but we're not getting a drop of blood to trail.
