[QUOTE="screech, post: 94182, member: 5135"] I know alot of people say that the old fashioned ballistic tip blows up to much for an elk bullet but everyone I know of really, shoots them out of the .308 caliber. I know one guy that shot an elk somewhere over 500 with a 180gr bt. I have shot one at somewhere less than 50. Both of theses where major bang flops. I know of another guy that shoots them out of a 30-378 and have where he has shot bulls at over 1000 yrds with them. I know he was recovered but that's about it. He shot from our property across the canyon and shot a spike in a spike only season. The ones that were closer ranges with hit in the back bone wich probably helped with the bang flop. I know that lots of people dont like them because of there blow up attitude but they have always done complete penetration for me. The one I shot at less than fifty broke both shoudre blades and back bone then exited. But thats just my expierences with them. Have a nice day [/QUOTE]
