Someone (I think maybe John Haviland?) had an article one time where he completely mutilated bullet tips to see what effect it had on reasonable hunting distances (very little to none).
Haviland might have, but I also remember Wayne Van Zwoll doing something similar, with the same negligible results at "normal" ranges.Of course, some hunters soot beyond normal ranges these days.
Guess another point would be that all softpoint spitzers are subject to the same magazine deforimation--one reason to use single-shot rifles!
