[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1408604, member: 2736"] I have also Had lots of experience with the ballistic tip Mostly good. As stated they work very well at longer distances where velocities are lower. the velocity range they seem to like is 2800 to 3200 ft/sec at the muzzle. Depending on what caliber/cartridge you shoot. and expand well at impact velocities of 1800 ft/sec, but will still expand at lower velocities, if forced to go below the recommended minimum velocities. I used them in a long barreled STW that would exceed almost any bullets design and had to come up with two loads for the rifle. Zero to 400 yards I had to use a partitioned bullet, and at 400 and beyond I had the best luck with a ballistic tip because it would expand well. The load produced 3700 ft/sec velocities with good accuracy. Close shots were just to hard on the ballistic tip because of the velocity at these distances. Once the bonded core bullets came along this all but solved my problem of to much expansion. I know for a fact that the 120 through 150 perform great if you can start them at 3000 to 3200 ft sec and limit distance to the 1800 ft/sec velocities. Just My Opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
