Actually no believe it or not. The factory 200 grain hornady FTX blows up on closer shots because of high velocity. Just like a 570 grain .500 nitro express soft point would be good for lion and double lung shots only on cape buffalo but would not be good for quartering angles on buffalo or elephant. That's when solids come into play. Bullet construction is everything.
