for many years African dangerous game hunters shot mostly all solids and if in the hunt they saw a very nice dik dik they shot it with the very same solids...and it was very effective. This includes a lot of plains game of all sizes taken with solids and only because that's what was in the gun at the time.

I'd still prefer my soft points for North American animals but solids would work too. We'd see a lot more pass thrus !!!
