[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1664496, member: 109862"] I’ve not taken a whole ton of deer with them behind the shoulder, but wouldn’t hesitate. Low tech softpoints are maddeningly effective for most hunting, boringly reliable. Not good for shooting stem to stern and not very emphatic at lower impact velocities compared to true frangible bullets. But for 90 percent of real world hunting nothing more is truly needed, if you’re waiting to take unrushed broadside shots (shoulder or not) at ordinary hunting ranges (I’m intrigued by long range hunting but have never needed to shoot further than 300 yards nor do I seek an excuse to do so when hunting). They do the two things you need to get done, penetrate enough, cause massive trauma along their way. Also, they’re easy to load for, easily accurate. Sometimes low tech is low stress. [/QUOTE]
