My experiences with Rem. 165 gr ballistic tips in my '06 have been good but also a little troubling. Accuracy has been excellent. 3 deer taken at ranges of 100, 140 and 260 yards were all one shot kills with two beingbehind the shouldercomplete pass throughs andthe 140 was a neck shot from behind that dropped him in his tracks.Last Sunday, I shot a bear at 40 yards right behind the shoulder. The beardropped in its tracksbut the entrance hole was the size of a softball andpart of the shoulder was wasted from the bulletfragmenting. I'm going to usethebullets I have this year for deer but will beswitching next year.
