Two things are for sure here. 1. No bullet that I have ever heard of stirs up as much debate as the Ballistic tip. 2. There seems to be no middle ground on this subject. People either love the BT or really hate it. It has always worked very well for me. In fact no bullet except for the Partition has ever been as down right dependable for me.. Well Maybe the old X bullets. Have not used the TSX enough to form an opinion.
