I have only used the 50 gr. 245 HPs and never tested over a 100yds. Have you or anyone compared or tested the group sizes/drop of HPs and aerotips beyond 100 yds? Why do you only use the PB on the second shot?

The 245 HPs have made giant entrance holes for me but don't always exit. I was thinking of switching to aerotips to ensure an exit hole and better blood trails.

The doe I shot this year was quartering away at 60 yds. Even though I took out both lungs the blood trail was pretty sparce for the first 50 yds and finally got heavy near where I found her at 80yds. On entry the PB took out 3 ribs and made large 2-3 inch trianglular entrance hole but never exited. Even the processer mentioned how big the hole was.
