My understanding is the balistic tips were designed to protect the nose of the soft-point bullets in magazines of the larger bore/magnimum calibers. After a couple of shots and a reload or two the bullets in the bottom of the mag had damaged tips which did cause accuracy problems. The hardness of the balistic tip did not deform after repeated firings and that was the design.

As far as which is better I don''t believe there is a significant differance as long as we are talking hunting bullets vs hunting bullets and not the varmit bullets vs hunting bullets.

My 2 cents
