[QUOTE="Buano, post: 574252, member: 21641"] A ballistic tip with a .243, .257 Roberts, or even .25-06 won't destroy a lot of meat because the bullet will generally break up in the chest cavity & not exit, but a 7 MM Rem mag or anything bigger with a ballistic tip cartridge will leave a cannonball sized hole in a deer (unless the deer is 300+ yards away). I've seen a deer all but cut in half with a .260 Rem firing a ballistic-tip cartridge at 50 yards when the bullet caught the deer just below the spine — 8" of spine was missing. [/QUOTE]
