I never suggested that you shoot winchester.The ballistic tip bullet is made by nosler and is loaded by several ammunition companies including federal,remington and winchester and is very popular with handloaders.My point was that you stated that you would not use the ballistic tip but that the sst's performed well for you on the deer that you shot.The vast majority of people that have used both the sst's and ballistic tips on game found that they performed virtually identical to each other, so the ballistic tip would most likely have worked just as well for you as the sst.Both the interbond or accubond are bonded bullets and both should hold together better than either the ballistic tip or sst.
