Default DeepCurl/Gold Dot Hollow Point vs Soft Point

I had some green crushed rib sabots lying around, so I decided to mate them up with some 270gr .44 DeepCurls. Unfortunately I didn't examine the label closely at the store, and when I opened them I discovered I had inadvertently purchased SPs instead of HPs. I've never used the SPs before. Anyone have any comment on their accuracy and terminal performance vs the HPs?

They are deadly on deer. To me they seem to expand easier than 300g hollow point. In some of my rifles they are very accurate; in others not so much.

Same with me. I purchased a box thinking they were hollow point and discovered my error. I never shot game with them, but tested them in several rifles. Some rifles shot them real well. Others, past 75 yards they were terrible, flying all over the place. I always figured to use them short range out of my Knight tree rifles though, and they'd be fine.
