It really depends on what you're hunting. If you reload I think you could take a polymer-tipped manufacturers recommendation for the species hunted. Hollow-tipped bullets come in both hunting and target configurations. read more

I've used hollow points for deer at close range, and only soft point for elk. Do a google search on terminal ballistics for the whole scoop. You might like ballistic tips if you're taking longer shots (in the wind) because they have a better ballistic coefficient. read more

Again, take into consideration what you are hunting, a soft point on a rabbit will kill just as easily as a Hollow point with less meat being damaged. Okay, so you have a lot of very general information, but a reasonably simple explanation of the difference between a hollow point bullet and a soft point. read more
