About the only definitive and convincing info I've read comes from Ross Seyfried. For hunting, he urges the use of a lead bullet with a large meplat. I've used 250- to 260-grain bullets loaded from plinking to full house, but never hunted with them.

And, of course, you can go on up to 300 grains...

FWIW, Art
