[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 313616, member: 307"] JYuke, Yes, we have all bought the lies in the hopes of perfection and praise. I recently "re-proved" it to myself with a 250lb black bear and a Ballistic Tip at very close range. The 7mm 150gn NBT left my barrel at 3211fps and entered the bear's left shoulder, went completely through and exited the right shoulder. He fell to ground, dead, 15 steps away. This bullet did not blow up as some say they will do. I have used Ballistic Tips for 25 years now and still find them to be just as effective, and very accurate, as always. Let others buy the expensive premium bullets, I'll stay with BT's. My most memorable trophies have fallen to NBT's and the majority of my best groups have been with NBT's. My Dad loved the Speer SP Boat Tails in his .243 Win. He swore by them for deer and fed his family with them. I have four boxes that were his and plan on trying them this deer season in the .243 Browning BLR (with 26" Douglas barrel) he left me. We seem to have gotten away from the ole' saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", expecially when it comes to rifles, cartridges and bullets. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
