I have had no experience with them, they almost look like a full metal jacket except for a tiny hole at the end. I am going to try them out on paper this weekend out of my Savage 110 WLE. I was curious about suitability for deer. I will let you know how they group compared to my hand loads. PS: Post script, upon closer inspection of the box and an old Remington publication I can see that they are Pointed Soft Points. Remington number . R250SV However their is no exposed lead at the tip, just a tiny hole. They are factory rounds and not reloads. 300Savage Last edited by 300Savage; 10/06/22.

I remember 300 Savage ammo was under $5. a box at that time. I had some bronze points but can't find them. May have shot them up.

Have used the 150 gr BP in the 308 and 30-06 they seem fairly soft to me..mb " Cheapest velocity in the world comes from a long barrel and I sure do like them. MB "

Bronze points had just come out if I remember correctly and me being an experimental type teenager I bought a box to hunt Florida whitetail. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.
