[QUOTE="Matt Regalia, post: 32555, member: 202"] Ric Horst, I have had similar experiences with the Nosler Ballistic tip. The magor problem is BAD bullet placment. A HOT loaded ballistic tip will explode on impact if shot into the shoulder at less than 100yds. My brother shoots a &mag and he has had thet happen with factory loads, the follow up shot put the buck down for good. I shoot a 338 Lapua Mag and load 200gr ballistic Tips. They are traveling 3400 fps. If you shot something under 125 yds and hit major bone they will literally blow up. I hit a White tail doe in Maryland last year at 85 yds and there was a 10 inch round patch of fur missing on the off side (I did not hit either front shoulder, perfect lung shot). This season i am trying the 225 gr Accubond and slowing them down to 3100-3200 fps. One of these day i would like to get out and hunt with you in WO. I used to hunt alot in Maryland with Al and sometimes with Dave King. I have heard lots of good things. Rick Browning, i think the WV boys have a bigger gun is better complex. I hunt PA sometimes and they have that up there too. I shoot my 308 in the wood and my 338 Lapua when i am out in the marsh in Maryland. I know the Lapua is OVERKILL but it is to much fun to shoot....I can't leave it home [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Matt [ 03-18-2004: Message edited by: Matt Regalia ] [ 03-18-2004: Message edited by: Matt Regalia ] [/QUOTE]
