RE: Bullet choice for knock down whitetails?
i do not like balistic tips,just too many problems with them especially at the ranges mentioned. now if the shots where longer or the barrel was short then maybe.i did use the 130 hornady for years but again at close range the bullet exploded.my vote would be for the nosler,sierra boat tail,scirrooco, something with a softer point than a bear claw or partition gold.as a post above mentioned accuracy is gonna probably be your determining factor, especially when you see the buck of a lifetime and the only shot you have is between 2 tree's, tree's don'tlook as good on your wall as a nice buck or doe in the freezer.
