hopdoc,

Yes, in some ways a solid does have less "put down" ability than a soft - BUT I personally hate using those words.

A solid make a hole staright through the animals, no petals cutting flesh and IMHO not as much shock value when it hits as it doesn't open up.

But I generally don't use solids on a standard broadside shot on Buffalo. A good, Premium Hunting bullet works fine.

I have solids in the bottom of the Mag / on reload of a double for that going away shot / full on frontal shot.

Just my HO. Everyone is different.
