I have heard aguy who use ballistic tips say that he's shot and killed alot of deer with ballistic tips, and he said that recently, he's has lots of problems with ballistic tips, he said they haven't done enough damage in order to maintaina good blood trail.

He said one time his son shot a doe right behind the shoulder in the lung, perfect shot, and said that his son had made the shot in the afternoon, and while they were tracking it, they had continued on where they thought the blood trail might have headed, and he said they found no more sign so they decided to backtrack, and search for another route the doe might've traveled, and by this point it had been almost 2-3 hours since the deer was hit, and they were backtracking, and the doe had actually bedded down, and they had passed it, but when they turned around , they jumped it, and it started running away, and they were able to shoot it again, and it died.

The problem, he said, was that there was no exit wound, and the bullet (270) had hit the lungs, but sorta' fragmented, and it hit the lungs, but not bad enough, so it took a second shot, even though his son had made an excellent shot.

Another time, he said thatthey had shot another doe, and from the film replay, it was a good hit, butthe blood trailgave out after 2 miles or so! And they never were able to find a body!

I just want to get a more solid bullet for hunting, I was thinking of a Nosler accubond, or a Remington Core-Lokt.

Any other suggestions orthoughts you might have?
