Without hesitation.

Over the last few years what I have noticed when reading the same bad experiences, both 250 and 300gn, were that they were almost always shot with 2 Pellet (Pyrodex or 777) loads. I have come to believe that the 2 Pellet loads do not generate enough velocity to get reliable expansion. I have not shot them on game since but If I did, I would use 100 grains of loose and no less. I think they would work fine then.
Just my 2cents.

interesting... all 3 of our bad experiences were with 2 pellets of pyrodex...
