I like a medium-weight Speer BT on deer and hogs when the velocity is not going to be very high, like in a short barreled carbine in 7-08, 308, etc. You'll still get good expansion at the lower impact speeds. I've had a couple fail to exit, but the animal didn't wiggle, so I keep using them in that role. I find them to be easy to get to shoot well also. Good practice bullets to boot, as they are often cheaper than everything but FMJ.
