Default RE: Ballistic tips. . .like 'em or no?

i used to load ballistictip 140grn bullets for a friend to deer hunt with,he killed a few with out a problem .then one day he spotted the biggest bodied whitetail he had ever seen,he shot at about 100yds and hit the deer alittle foward ,on the shoulder blade. well a hunter about 400yds away killed that deer 2 days later ,still walking on 3 legs. the ballistic tip only penatrated about 2inches. it was a 12 pt 23in wide . he no longer uses ballistic tip bullets.
