I have fell many animal with a Speer flat base hot core. Its a very reliable bullet design. Most have a heavier tapered jacket paired with there hot-core process make for not as violent action as there bt design.
Just my thoughts, Speer is kinda in-neutral anymore with there rifle bullet offerings compared to other bullet companies.
Anyhow.... Only one whitetail doe couple decades back with the Speer bt. It was a not anticipated shot and hit her a little far back with a Speer 150 gr. Bt from an old sporterized enfield '06. But with not a got hit, a good trail of blood and other things led me to an expired deer. Bullet passed clean threw, damage was extensive.
The Speer bt model is of a lighter build and is assembled in the standard cup and core bullet method.
