Default RE: ballistic tips

I started using them about 4 years ago, and I thought they were the greatest. Then IT happened. I shot a buck, and yes I did my part, but the bullet fragmented apparently on contact. Very little blood trail, but I knew he was hurt bad. We found the deer, but it really made me second guess my bullet choice. I spent the time before the next season looking for other factory loadings witha bonded bullet ( that doesn't cost an arm and a leg ). I looked for Nossler, Remington, Sierra, whatever I could find. I finally wound up with some SST's. This year I am going to try the Fusion. I would love to find one brand of bullet, that I could stock for all of my guns. Right now I have a .243, 7mm-08, .270, .308, and a 30.06. I am getting ready to get a TC Encore pistolin the 15 " stainless.

But I can accept the idea of me finding one bullet that would shoot well out of all of those guns is a pipe dream. But I cant see ever going back to the ballistic tip. Too many horror stories.

Well good luck to everyone.

Be safe

God Bless
