[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 429794, member: 2736"] +1 I use all of the nosler bullets and find them very dependable and predictable if used the way they were designed to be used. For very long shots where the velocity will be down (1800 to 2200 ft/sec ) at the POI I use the ballistic tips. On the close high velocity shots I use the Partitions or the Accubonds. To get maximum performance out of any bullet you have to know it's design intent and velocity limits and then place the shot in the appropriate place. It is very hard if not impossible to design a bullet that will do it all, so bullet choice is very important and knowing it's use is a must. For all round performance the Accubond is my first choice because of shot to shot performance. But I still use other bullets for special needs. With all the emphasis on minimizing meet damage the ballistic tip is a good design if placed in soft tissue where little or no meat lose is desirable and maximum bleeding out is also desirable for taste. There was nothing surprising about the performance of the Ballistic tip with the shot placement, Just like if you use a partition and hit the deer in the belly you would get little if any expansion and the exit hole would be about the size of the entrance hole. If a bullet is used as intended it will perform well if not, the results will normally be disappointing. I hope this helped to understand why his wound channel was not what you expected.
