I have long believed that bullet performance is a vital key to success. I have always had very good luck loading and using Hornady Spire Point Interlock bullets. They perform perfectly everytime. I have taken game as close as 15yds, out to almost 200yds with great results. Thus...I have never really felt the need to try other bullets. All my loads use those.

Now the real reason for my post....my dad got a new .270 ADL in the spring, and finally got his Leupold on it and the trigger adjusted. I told him to work up some loads for it using some premium bullets (suggested Hornady' s) and see how it shot. Anyhow, he worked up some loads for it....and shot it over the weekend. Using 130 and 140 Nosler Ballistic tip bullets, his 5 shot groups averaged sub moa(around .85" ), and 3 shots averaged about .50" which is super IMO. My question is...how will these bullets do on whitetails? I was always under the impression that they were designed more for varmint type hunting. ??? I know how the partitions do...my buddy uses those, but I don' t know anyone that uses the Ballistic tips for deer personally.

It shot so good....I want to tell him that would be great to use on deer(see the pic below). Any advice (pros/cons/etc) from those of you that use Ballistic Tips would be appreciated Thanks!
