The use of target bullets for hunting debate will never end. Any website on the Net is filled with pros and cons and stories of wonderful performance and abject failure. It has actually supplanted the Barnes haters as the most popular subject for otherwise adult males to get into namecalling, threats and other gradeschool playground behavior.
Fact is the great Mr. Bell always used SOLIDS on his 7x57 to kill everything that walked in Africa. "never polluted my rifle with a softpoint."
The question I have posed several times, never to be answered, is "why?". Any hunter (not sniperwannabe) should be able to get within 300 yards of a big game animal. At that range a plain old 180 gr roundnose 30-06 softpoint will do the job...thus "Why?"
