[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1174246, member: 2736"] I have had different results than some and have nothing but good things to say about the Ballistic tips If the bullet placement is correct and recommended velocities are reached. Match/target Bullets are by nature very accurate, BUT I have never been 100% satisfied with there performance on game because they were inconsistent. Bullets perform differently for different people because of there preferred POI and the velocity and each person should find the bullet that works best for there style and needs. I personally decided to switch from match bullets to hunting bullets years ago to improve the Impact performance on game. I found that the Ballistic tips replaced the match grade bullets very well and used then at longer distances because they would expand at the lower velocities of longer shots. I tried them in an STW and the velocities were to fast under 400 yards but they worked better than other bullets at 800 + yards because they still expanded. I use them in my 7/08 pistol and have been 100% successful beyond 500 yards on deer. When velocities exceed 3200 at the point of impact (POI) they become marginal if shoulder or spine shots are taken. I prefer a lung shot at most distances and the Ballistic tip works great If shot placement is in this area. On bigger game I prefer a bonded core bullet for thicker skin and shoulder or neck shots. I want a bullet that Is accurate, performs well with long shots and with good shot placement can be very dependable at closer ranges. Every bullet has it's strong points and weak points so choosing the best depends on your distance and preference of each persons Point of aim. (There is no golden bullet that will do everything better than other bullets, only some things). I use many different bullets depending on the game size and distance to be used, and the ballistic tip is just one of them. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
