Ballistic silvertip ??
Greets,
I have a question for the masses. I shoot a 30-06 for most of my hunting, when I am not muzzle stuffing anyway ( planning archery this year maybe too, but thats off the subject)Anyhow, my partner shoots .270 and uses the bllistic silvertips, 130gr I think. I know I can get em for 06 in 168gr or ordered in 180gr. My question is how many here have used em and what do you think of them for big game (ie deer elk black bear and cougar ). My partner hit his deer with one at a lot farther out than he should have ( 400+ yards, he got buck fever ) he got it, and when we got the the critter I was amazed at the amount of damage that little 130gr bullet did. even at that range it was a pass thru hit.
What is the opinion here on the round ? ( for 30-06 primarily even though my only comparison is in .270 )
tnx,
Terry
