A soft bullet can “nuke” in the lungs at high impact speed and kill well without leaving a blood trail, making tracking tougher than it has to be on the deer with the tenacity to run. That is often the thing with soft bullets at high-speed, you either get a spectacular DRT, or a tracking job with no exit wound. A tougher bullet might mean less DRT events, but at least generally gives an exit on the runners. I get what the OP is saying. You sometimes don’t know until you try it.
