[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 150221, member: 3733"] I agree with you remmy, I have hunted with b-tips for years and can honestly say I never had a bullet "fail". I stick with the heavier for caliber b-tips. 140-150gr in the 7mm. Although I loaded up a reduced load in my cousins 280 with the 120 b-tip. His son used it to kill a large 10 point at close range, one shot through lungs ran about 50 yards. The 140 b-tip in my 280 has always been a good combination. In the 30 cal I use the 180 grain, for years this was my go to load in a rem 700 300 win mag. I killed whitetail from 30 to 423 yards. Only one needed a second bullet.(but that was my fault) I tried Barnes in a 264 win mag. I ended up with dead deer but holes out were the same as holes in. I think the pedals stripped off more often than not. Now my bullets of choice are. A-max, Sierra mk and gamekings, Nos b-tips, and AB. I stick with the heavier for calibur bullets and leave the light weights for varmits [/QUOTE]
