Last season my wife hit a big body whitetail square in the front shoulder with a 130 Ballistic Tip (BT). Although the deer dropped and was as deader than political common sense, the BT came apart inside the chest cavity. I have used the BT for many years and that is the first time that I have seen one completely fragment. I am replacing all of my BT loads with Accubond (AB) bullets. The cost of the AB is not much more than the BT and they shoot just as well as the BT in my rifles. The AB is a very good bullet.
