Anyone try any loads with these bullets? Is it worth the price vs performance? Do they hold good groups?

They claim that they are for extreme long range shots and expand to 2.5 times their size while retaining more than 95% of their weight. Every other bullet I see is only 1.5x expansion.
 
I used a 180gr. MRX out of a Browning BAR in .308 to take a 40" Scimitar Oryx. 1st shot was a frontal chest shot at about 50 yards, the oryx bucked, jumped, and ran 20 yards then went down. 2nd shot was 30 yards broadside and the animal layed over. Don't remember if there was an exit wound from the frontal shot but the broadside entered, expanded, and exited. left about a .60 caliber exit hole.

These rounds produced 1" groups at 100 yards.
