Forgot to add, Bill said most PH's were FOS regarding solids and softs. We discussed their preference for alternating softs and solids. Bill likes to load his gun with A-Frames, has solids on his belt. If a bull runs, he loads solids, does not use them initially. He likes solids for a "Texas heart shot", bull running away, or a full head on charge.
He said an A-Frame will transverse a buff, often stopping under the hide on the far side. For herd animals, that keeps others from getting hit. Once the herd breaks away from the shot animal, it's solid time.
Bill, for sure is a gun guy. Most PH's aren't. They know their craft, but don't keep up with the latest technology regarding bullets and loads, tend to go with hand me down, traditional info on bullets and ammo.

Edited to add, Bill said he likes to line up his shot on the shoulder, about 25-30% up from the bottom, said their heart sits lower in the chest than other BG. That way, you're gonna hit at least one shoulder, and take out the big vessels over the heart, or the heart itself. They don't run far hit like that.
