Tinker:

Gotcha.

I haven't had too great a success with JHP's in media or on critters. But with cast bullets and jacketed rifle bullets, they look promising, and my Lee HP cast bullet has performed very well on game.

Reading this post again, the utility of HP's seems to grow. The thing about a Hollow Point that seems relevant here is that it can be adjusted for bullet hardness and velocity of the cartridge fired.

For example, the Gould bullet I mentioned had a great reputation as a deer bullet but was said to be somewhat frangible for bigger game. A bullet with a shallower HP would penetrate deeper, tho, and might offer better performance on game the size of red deer, elk, etc.

Reloading speed, penetration and expansion might be able to be incorporated into a custom cast conical bullet that had a plugged hollow base with a hollow point, or the bullet mold could be left to cast a flat nose and then hollow pointed to the hole diameter and depth required by the game. This of course contingent upon adequate twist rate of the rifle involved.

Just an idea.
