But....you don't reload, so much of it is useless to you.

The M16 and it's variants have been around for 60 years and dropped many millions of thin skinned game with 55 grain ball ammo.
Ball ammo is cheap, accurate and it works.

"Killing" is making a hole for Blood to escape from a sealed system...Ball Ammo has done it since the the gun was invented...."Hunting" ammunition just digs a nastier, larger hole to make 'em bleed out quicker.

Both get the job done with kinetic energy transfer and cavitation.
Ball cost's a lot less so more trigger time to become more proficient with it.

I see none of you have experience a 55 grwin soft point out of a 22" barrel bolt gun going through the bone of both shoulders on a doe..
You want a soft point in the 69-75 grain range for a 1:8. Make sure it's for game and not varmit(thin jacket). 55 grain will work as long as it's sp, but I like a little more weight . I would also limit my shots to 150 yard and in, maybe even closer if you're using a 16" barrel. For hunting I would prefer a 20" or longer

I took two Deer at separate times approximately the same place ~150yds using a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle and Remington 55gr. Cor-Lok bullets with a shot to the base of the skull: Clean, Dead right there kills...placement is more important than damn near anything else.
