This is gonna sound cheap on my part, but I am gonna have to find a cheaper alternative to my federal premium nosler partitions. They have gone up to 25 bucks a box this year. I hate to do it, and if there is no better choice out there, I will fork over the money. I don' t know much about ballistic tips, just the stuff you hear from guys that love or hate them.....they blow up if you hit bone....they are not effective at close range....they are the only bullet I will ever use....performance was devistating, deer never took a step. I am looking for an accurate bullet that gives reliable performance, and that doesn' t cost 30 dollars a box by the time I get it shipped. Thanks for the help.
