A couple of factors behind the decision. A rapidly approaching wallaby trip which needed a thin skinned bullet that would work well out to 400ish yds. The very small sample size I had myself , only a couple of feral cats and smallish pigs against the credible reports of inconsistent terminal performance. i had yet to buy the bullets for the trips so it seemed logical to switch to the tipped version. I have time to play now so have revisited the hollow points. We've worked through a few bullets on various wallaby trips , normally shooting a few hundred roos, inside 250yds the 55gr hps or balistc tips perform really well, further out the heavier match type bullets perform better, i was of the opinion that the 73gr eld would have been a good option but my rifle didn't agree with me. If I was looking for a good all round bullet the 65g game king would be well up the list.
