[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 76635, member: 10"] I like tipped bullets in the varmint calibers for a couple reasons: -tent to be a bit more consistant in BC value from bullet to bullet. -They expand much more violently then a HP especially at longer ranges. ACtually, you will find that at the outer reaches of a rounds effective range, even a SP will expand better then a HP. Nothing will compare to a tipped bullet though for expansion when the range gets long and the velocity low. -They offer higher BC values then a HP. -They look neet [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]! You can get red, or orange or silver or green!!! I have been using the 50 gr Blitzkings in my 22-250 AI and the 55 gr Blitzking in my 22-6mm AI. Both have 1-14 twist barrels and I get roughly 4000 and 4150 fps respectively and they have been accurate, explosive and lower priced then some of the other tipped bullets. No flies on any of them, Nosler, CT, Hornady or Sierra, they all are great performers and it will depend on the rifle which shoots the best. Good SHooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
