They are reliable enough for me that I just picked up another 100.
They may not work for everyone, but they sure have proven themselves in my single shot Ruger!

BTW, I have also killed a passel of animals with the .303 Brit with lots of different cup and core bullets in weights from 150 to 215 grains.
For me, the deciding number 1 factor id if the rifle will shoot a particular bullet.
