I think it's amazing that we have so many bullets to chose from. The research in terminal performance is sometimes amazing and we certainly have better bullets now than we had forty years ago. The research continues apace, with better technology, more concentric jackets, newer bonding techniques and modern manufacturing methods. The shortage of last year seems to be loosening, and sometimes we can actually find bullets on the shelves.
All that being said, I still gravitate toward the cup-and-core bullets. The last several deer I killed were shot with standard soft-points, either Hornady or Sierra bullets. The smallish deer in my woods seem to respond well to them. If I were going out West to shoot big mule deer or elk, I might buy a more premium bullet, but for my piney woods the old standards still do just fine.
