Default RE: Ballistic tip?

- wonder why BT's get the rap they do[:'(]!

All I'll say is fellas/ladies pick the right bullet for the job and you will not be disappointed. Accuracy is always part of the equation but not the only part, bullet design(intended use)&hunting situation(game, range,etc)should also factor in onwhich bullet to load.

Anthony, 20 plus deer and 4 antelope I have shot with the BT, all but 1 have exited the animal. The one that did not was all my fault as I yanked the shot flush into the shoulder at close range (130/.277), as one would expect the result with this style of bullet was very fast expansion which led to reduced penetration. The shoulder was broken but knowing I screwed up I stayed off the animal and let him set up. I tagged my whitetail buck with no troubles as the bullet did enough to take out one lung via bone/bullet frags and produced a good trail. Shooter failure not bullet!
