Excuse me stubblejumper, i did make a mistake there, yes the ballistic tips are made by Nosler. No i didnot say any other bullets were designed as anything, But yes, the Nosler Ballistic Tip was designed as a varmint bullet. I dont think i said anywhere that all poly tipped bullets were varmint bullets.
When you mentioned Hornady,I logically assumed that you were not in fact talking about the ballistic tip made by nosler.As such,it is also logical to assume that you were referring to other bullets with poly tips.As to the ballistic tip being developed as a varmint bullet,perhaps you should read page 4 of the Nosler loading manual number three.It gives the history of nosler bullets,and it specifies exactly why the Nosler ballistic tip was developed.The ballistic tip was developed to prevent the bullet tips from deforming from heavy recoil in the magazines of magnum chambered rifles.So the Nosler ballistic point was originally developed for big game hunting ,unless of course you hunt varmints with heavy recoiling magnum cartridges.Or unless you know better than Nosler,the company that developed and markets the Nosler Ballistic Tip?
