I've killed a couple of deer with some of Beartooth's hardcasts in both the .44 mag (300 grain WFN) and .45-70 (Piledriver Jr), and they seem to work pretty good with less meat damage than the jacketed bullets. Keep that in mind if you continue to have a problem finding your favorites. The performance seems to be on par with the expanding bullets in regards to how far the animal goes after the shot, and there is absolutely no concern about hitting bones! I tried some of them after getting concerned about future supplies, and they do work.
That 300 grain Speer, in both .429 and .458, is a real sleeper of a bullet. It is simply a very reliable bullet and suitable for game larger than deer.
