They would be ideal for that.IE close range semi controled environment.....there is not a lot of energy there as 90 gr....if you remember it is only twice as grunty as a subsonic 22lr you will be fine.
I was really only useing them as an experiment and for shooting a mates homekill who has since passed away and I changed caliber.
From an 11 twist but being such a short bullet I would think they would be fine out of any factory twist rate offered in 30 caliber.
