Yup. Very good bullet. Second only to the punch bullet in penetration. Tough as well.

Well I love the punch bullets so this should be close. I bought some .50 cal bullets and will give them a try in the deesert eagle .50AE and SW .500. Have you hunted with the round?

yup, i use the busters alot b/c i get same point of impact easily with the swift a frame 325's from my 454. imho, not a better 1-2 punch in handgun hunting imho and the swift a frame 1st into anything buffalo sized and smaller followed by the busters as follow ups is just perfect, larger than buffalo, it's a punch bullet all the way.
