jorkep,

The winchester may be the exception, in the ballistic silver tip line.

I have come to know the reality of what Todd said. I have never seen the likes of deer lost, with very poor blood trails, as I have at two different deer camps, with people useing remington ballistic tips , and loadings with nossler ballistic tips. I have personally seen a bullet completely frag on the shoulder of a 100 pound doe. That is not the best performance, to say the least. That is why I recommended staying with something like the core-lokt or a bonded bullet. I will never shoot the ballistic tip at any game ever again.
