I agree with Highpower in relation to the ballistic tips when used in a hunting situation. Stubblejumper will disagree, and he has a lot of experience with ballistic tips and 300 RUM's. I was merely suggesting that if a gun won't shoot ballistic tips with a little bit of work, then I would probably be looking at more than the bullet to see what is wrong. After re-reading my original post what I meant to say wasn't what I said. Confused yet?
