I went the 50/50 route, coww to pure for two years - hunting hogs and deer. I found it to soft if you hit anything but a broadside lungshot. I wasn't getting reliable pass through shots, especially on the hogs. One 150 pound boar retained two bullets that mushroomed to almost 70 caliber. I switched back to straight coww and hollow pointed them. I know get reliable expansion and pass through consistently. All the shooting was done through a 94 carbine 30-30 and my m.v is 1850. I don't usually shoot over 150 yards unless it's a coyote.
