Default Matrix bullets

Has anyone had some experience with these bullets?

I'm curious about how you've found them to shoot, and how their performance has been on big game.

Thanks.

I have some .277 165g vld and .25 125 gr bonded to try, have yet to load. (hopefully next days off although, it is duck shooting and trying to pattern and load for 16 & 28 sub gauges )
Althought I did send a mate in NZ fifty to try, and he was unable to stabilize the .277 165 gr in a short barrel sako. 21" his speeds were very low and when I talked to Ian? at matrix he did say "They may need to be pushed" and some rifles may not stabilize.
He did shoot two reds deer and said they work fine, close range.
Quite a bit of info on long-range hunting forum.
Canadian so I think we should do what we can to support.
