I've heard lots of people like them. A few have told me they prefer soft points but I've heard pretty good things about the ballistic tips too. I tried to use the Winchester Ballistic tips in my Browning BAR 30-06 and for some reason I couldn't get them to group well at all. I was shooting all over a 8" target at 100 yards. I switched to the Federal Fusions and the gun likes them much better. I don't know why it doesn't like the ballistic tips as I'd love to use them.
