Here is a different look - of the bullets listed - how many have you actually tried?  Personally of the list I have only shot critters with 2 of them.

Then you're ahead of me.  

I have tested the Barnes Triple Shock in my .257 Roberts and the Kodiak and North Fork 350g bullets in my .45-70.  But of the  three, I have only taken game with the North Fork -- a forkhorm buck at 192 yards and a 6x6 bull at 213 yards.

You are absolutely right.......I have only tried one type of ammo (Federal Premium Vital Shock) and it is superb, but it is not listed.  I have not had experiences with any other type of ammo, although my uncle just informed me that he uses Nosler Partitions.
