Default Anyone use Federal Trophy Copper?

Specifically the 100gr 25-06. My rifle likes it and I'm just curious if anyone has any real world experience with this ammunition? This has been my late season mule deer and whitetail rifle, I have shot black bear with it as well. I'm likely going to pack it for the spring bear season, at least for our annual back packing trip into the high country.

I'm going to give them a try. Reviews I have read appear positive.

This is the only one I have recovered from 25 different critters. Thru both shoulders at 150 yds on a Kudu bull found under the skin on the off shoulder. They just kill game out of my 300 wsm.

Have been using them in my 308 since they came out. Loonie sizes entrance hole, toonie sized exit, no recovered bullets, lots of blood on the ground, and dead deer every time. Much less meat damage than a partition. Very consistent accuracy box to box. No failures, no complaints. They work as they should. All shots have been within 300 yards

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'm going to give them a try out on a back packing trip for spring black bear. Spot and stalk hopefully get within 100m, my last one I managed to get within 40m.
