[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1478230, member: 30902"] They are extremely tough bullets originally designed specifically for large, heavy bodied game at sub 200yds range. I've seen three elk taken very cleanly with them out of a .264. One at about 30 yards, the other around a hundred, the farthest about 250. That ole man never missed and never needed a second shot on anything I saw him shoot at over the span of almost forty years. They are in fact very similar to the old heavy jacketed soft point military rounds from around the turn of the last century just as the world's militaries were making the transition from all lead to jacketed bullets. They aren't known for great accuracy but they are great for deep penetration and breaking bones. [/QUOTE]
