Just use the pointy ones; they work fine.

The Hawk bullets are incredibly soft even with the optional jacket thickness based on game Ive shot with them..They are excellent in the old Winchester calibers however..and loaded down to factory specs would probably perform well for broadside shots..The Hornady 154 or 160s are hard bullets and give excellent penetration on deer and elk..better used on elk IMO.

I have used the old Rem Corelokts and they are awesome if you can find them as are the WW PPs..

The fact is the spritzers of today work every bit as well..Ive used the 175 gr. Nosler in my 7x57s for years on the larger PG and elk, Moose and bear, and even an ocassional deer and they worked fine. Nosler open up quickly to the partition, so they work well on light or heavy game..The 160 works as well. For Mule deer I use the 130 Speer and its absolutely a perfect bullet, even on whitetail from stands and in open country..I get pass thurs and big exit holes at 3 inches as a rule, meat damage isn't bad with heart lung shots.
