Does anyone use these bullets? How do they perform? Here's a few reviews I found in case anyone is wondering the same thing.

I haven't harvested any game with them, but they shoot wonderfully in my TC Black Diamond.

Thanks for the input guys but I changed my mind. Looks like I will be using these bullets made by speed. They cost $21 for a box of 50 at midway or cheaper than dirt. Then you have to buy the plastic sabots for them at Modern Muzzle Loading Products. They are $9 for 50. So for $30 I get 50 shots. That $0.60 a shot. Compared to $1.40 per shot with the Barnes. I would check them out if I was you. The bullets are a jacketed hollow point.
Go here for the deep curls.

For the plastic sabots. For a .50 cal you want to get the Black HPH/24
