Was it unstable, as in scatter groups with the buller hitting sideways, or just slightly oval holes?
The MP-BLK made slightly oval holes when shot through a 1:10ROT at subsonic velocity, but still grouped pretty well.
A long, marginally stable bullet that tumbles on impact could have some interesting terminal ballistic properties even without expansion. Unless you need linear, predictable, deep penetration. But, as someone told us years ago, «only accurate rifles are interesting».
Best of luck with your shooting, and please keep us posted, Ian!
