[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1418353, member: 6330"] Congratulations on your Cape Buffalo! I have not shot any pointed FMJ at game. I did finish my Cape Buffalo with Woodleigh Solids after the first shot of a Hornady SPRN in .375 H&H. I believe you will find that the pointed bullets will veer off track much more easily than a straight wall hunting bullet. I remember reading that after WWII some hunters tried using the pointed style Armor Piercing rounds available at that time with poor results on larger African game. I am sure that they worked fine on plains game, but did not penetrate straight on heavy game. But, again this is what I read, no direct experience. good Luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
