[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 92310, member: 10"] The problem is not the ballistic tip per say but the weight of the ballistic tip you used and the round you used it in. With nearly 100 gr capacity you need some bullet weight. Bump up to a 180 gr Ballistic Tip or better yet a 180 or 200 gr accubond and you will get much better performance. I suspect you impacted the shoulder on that shot? Light bullets in the big rounds is a plan to get results just like you got. Its not the bullets fault. Had that bullet been in a 308 win or 30-06 or even 300 Win Mag I suspect you would have dropped that deer in under 100 yards. The 150 gr ballistic Tip is not a shoulder busting bullet anyway, in any caliber for that matter. Try more lead and you will not be disappointed [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]! These big rounds will also generally become much more consistant with more bullet weight as well so its a win win situation. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
