Thanks for the info guys. My son is 12 and is stepping up from a crack barrell .243 this year. I have a phobia of ballistic tip bullets after seeing several fragment and not exit. I know that many will say that this is good since it "transfers all of its energy to the animal causing maximum damage". The problem is that if the animal does not fall immediately, tracking deer through thick brush and briars in south Alabama with no trail is extremely difficult even if he only runs 40-60 yards. I will try these 139 gr SP's and if I can achieve anywhere near 1 MOA, my son is more than capable of doing his job if the bullet does its'.
