Not sure what to think about these. OATH Ammunition. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with these or similar?

1.25oz slug, 1600 fps. 2.5" expansion. They also have much larger 2.25oz slugs traveling at 1200 fps. You’d need a serious powder charge to get that beast moving. Recoil would be harsh, I’m guessing. That one breaks into (6) 158gr triangular pieces spreading about 15° from original POI. They don’t penetrate very deep, but the center part (which ensures reliable expansion) penetrates deeper than the main portion of the slug itself. They would indubitably leave a pretty grievous wound behind. While I don't reload according to the manufacturer the brass is good for up to 1000 reloads.
