Drew -Do you really know what a ballistic tip is?It is a boattail bullet with a polycarbonate tip that is very pointed to provide a very high ballistic co-efficient.A hollow point has no point but rather the end of the bullet is a cavity.A bullet cannot be both a ballistic tip and a hollow point.A boattail can be pointed or be a hollowpoint.

I disagree about the balistic tips, I usually have a BIG explosion when I hit deer with my BST's in .30-06. They do a ton of damage, the only drawback I can find is that when they hit bone they redirect and fragment so much that they don't make a big enough exit hole. Have you tried plain old hollow points??? They aren't much for accuracy in my opinion, but they'd sure give you the explosion you want. I also use Win. Sup. X Powerpoint and powerpoint plus's, both give me good entry and exit wounds.

Nomercy-Since when aren't hollowpoints much for accuracy.The whole sierra line of match bullets are hollow points and they have won more than a few tournaments over the years.
