I was in a Gander Mountain store last weekend and the only Gold Dots they had was one box of 270 44 cal. Soft Points for $14.99 per 50. I picked them up figuring if nothing else I'd try to use up some Green .430 MMP sabots I have with them as my gun likes the green Hornady sabots with the 44 cal XTP 300's I hunt with.

In my Hawken, shooting 90 RS, how does everyone think they would perform on deer? Would I have to hit bone to open them up properly? Would 100 grains make much difference in expansion?
