[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 355240, member: 412"] Short answer: No, no reason not to use a soft-point of some sort. I use Barnes TSX because during the years of unlimited doe tags, their extremely reliable performance across multiple bullet diameters, weights, and impact velocities became quite obvious: Caliber in/Golf-ball sized out, carnage in-between. It hasn't mattered if I've taken animals just beyond my boot laces or out past 500yds, the wound channels pretty much all look the same. That said, if I had to go back to shooting a soft-point cup/core of some sort, there's no reason I'd be hampered to any meaningful degree. The 10 most important things regarding rifle projectiles assuming they're reasonably accurate and sighted in for your rifle IMO: 1. Placement 2. Placement 3. Placement 4. Placement 5. Placement 6. Placement 7. Placement 8. Placement 9. Bullet Construction 10. Headstamp on the brass [/QUOTE]
