[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2947528, member: 109862"] No experience with them on game yet. But I've loaded up about 250 or so of the 196 grain PPU soft points. They shoot well out of my husqvarna m98. They are very consistent in weight and dimensions, appear very well made all around, and have a cannelure for crimping at exactly the right spot so the base of the bullet will be flush with the base of the case neck. They are made expressly for this cartridge and this cartridge was originally meant to shoot bullets of this weight and shape, more or less, and rifles so chambered are twisted and have leade lengths accordingly. At 8x57 velocity it should be perfect, no need for premium anything in this cartridge. Medium to heavy for caliber soft points at or under 2600 fps have been killing things real dead for a long long time out of many of our oldie but goodie military cartridges I form cases from 30-06 brass and have been using h380, cfe223, and imr 4064 all with acceptable results in this cartridge.
