MidwayUSA's page for Speer .30 168gr indicates:
Would that be a good bullet for use on mid-Atlantic white-tails? I thought a soft-point was needed, but I cant find any 168gr SP's for use in my .308 700P. Has anyone given them a try on any game?

Speer Boat Tail Bullets are designed for long-range shooting. The tapered heel that gives that bullet type its name reduces aerodynamic drag for flatter trajectories. These bullets are an excellent choice for whitetail deer and antelope. This is not loaded ammunition.
