befusBullet type and best use by brand listing needed!
Lots of talk here and elsewhere of different types and brands of bullets, their uses, failures (alleged anyway), and use for different catagories of game. It is really a little daunting if all the info is not familiar to you. Is there a single source or does anyone care to take the challenge to describe various standard types and put each brand in one of the types?
Ones I see mentioned are below, some I am familiar with, many I am not. Woodleigh seems to have retained logic and simply describes theis in old fashioned terms like 'Protected Soft Point". Here is a partial list of others if anyone wants to take a shot at it.

Savage99Why do you think that the brand of primer matters with any particular bullet? It's obvious I don't understand the question.

befusAh, my bad.......not the primer as in ignition, but primer as in text book listing info for all these different bullet types under proprietary names. I changed the subject line.
