[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1407498, member: 103369"] the ballistic tip is an accurate bullet and it actually does better at distance, which makes it good for you guys who hunt long range in open terrain out west. Here in the thick eastern woods the BT has problems - at close range and high velocity, they explode almost like a varmint bullet. And, although hitting brush is very bad for any bullet, the BT actually starts to disintegrate before it gets to the deer if it encounters anything on the way. I -and some friends- have had bullets fail from hitting light brush; since switching over, I've never had a barnes fail in identical situations afterwards. It's not a wives tale, I'm not repeating internet gossip. I used the BT exclusively for about 15 years and shot dozens of deer with them. And I've seen many examples of the failures in thick cover.
