I've read alot of discussions on Aerotip vs. Hollowpoints and just had an experience to share with y'all. Shot a nice spike buck yesterday with my .45 Omega, 195 gr. Aerotip and 2 Pyrodex pellets. Broadside at about 75 yds. Went through both lungs, didn't hit any bone to speak of. I was really pleased with the performance of this bullet. The exit hole was about the size of a quarter, but what a job it did on his lungs. He ran about 60-70 yds bleedin like a stuck pig, just like a good broadhead shot. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with HP's but I sure like those Aerotips.
