I guess it works just fine.

I don't understand, "LSP". Do you mean a jacketed softpoint with lead tip, or the original lead SWC that has a rep for leading-up bores in short order?
Or a handload with a lead bullet with a gas check on the base?
Your point about whatver it is working well seems clear, but I 'm puzzled by the exact load. Sorry; guess I'm a little dense.
If he uses factory softpoints, ask which brand. And if they show any expansion. I realize that he is concerned more with penetration in a hunting load.
My concern is whether the 145 Silvertip and the JHP Hydra-shok will work well on both men and game.
