Never cared for ballistic tips. Too explosive IMHO. Basically just a hollow point with a plastic nipple snapped in the end. Don't know why I would pay more money for that.
***Hornady Interlocks are all I use on antelope up through deer in my .243 100 gr), 25-06 (117 gr), and 30-06s (150 gr). I go to their Interbond for deeper penetration on elk with my 30-06s and they shoot to the same POI, which is nice because it saves having to reset my scopes.
