I agree 100%.
My Dad has lost 1 deer with his 300WSM and it was with a balistic tip bullet. Knocked the front shoulder darn near off, but never found the buck. He hasn't shot one since. My biggest reason for not using them (other than what mackesr said above) is the damage to the meat. I place my bullet where it is supposed to be, use a lighter grain bullet and don't have an issue with getting a kill.
