Hawk Bullets

[RootballExpress]

Good afternoon,

Has anyone used Hawk’s soft points on African dangerous game or big game such as brown bear?

Looking for feedback on soft points in 416 caliber and up having been used.

Thanks in advance to everyone who has feedback to share!

I used them on bison a few years back. That was with a 500gr RNSP out of a 45-90, can't remember velocity. Killed it but it had decored. To be fair Hawk offers various options for jacket thickness and I know I didn't pay enough attention to that when I ordered.

Since that experience I've ordered Hawks for my 375 H&H and 500 Sharps 2 1/2" but just for range work in fact just got some 570gr Spritzers for the 500 to use at the range.

Hawk is a very easy company to work with. My opinion is that they fine for light skinned big game but I personally wouldn't use them for dangerous game especially African DG; there are plenty of bullets out there that would be better for that purpose.
