[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2326238, member: 11853"] Ballistic Tips have gone through changes over the years.The early Ballistic Tips seemed to group a little different than Accubonds,but the ones I've shot recently seem to group the same to me.I've shot both and I tell you,I kind prefer the Ballistic Tip.The Ballistic Tip gives me just a tad larger wound channel.Not a lot larger,but just a tad larger and a little quicker kills on average.I'm getting exits with both bullets,so I can't compare weight retention.So really,either one is a good choice for me.This is from Nosler's FAQ's.Same bullet the only difference,one is bonded the other isn't.Accubond has just a little higher weight retention. [H4]What is the difference between the Ballistic Tip® and the AccuBond®?[/H4] Externally, they look the same except for the tip colors, Ballistic Tip® bullets are color-coded by caliber while all AccuBond® bullets have white tips.
