[QUOTE="1894, post: 30846, member: 1958"] I shoot the 100gr 6.5mm ballistic tip at a relatively slow 2,900-3,000fps (first shot out the clean barrel is 100fps slower but groups the same - go figure!)on our fallow deer which top out 160lbs field dressed. It works well in the hands of a patient expert ie someone who can wait and place a near perfect broadside shot at the vitals BUT I have recovered it on the far side on such shots with the bigger bucks and even on much smaller deer when the shoulder has been hit. Ballistic tips are not equal, the 25 cal ones may be tougher but I personaly wouldn't use a 100gr one in a 25-06 (3,300fps?) unless I had a dog for trailing. I really don't hold with a lot of what's said about BTs I love them but appreciate I won't allways get an exit. That said most of them only go about 30yards and the dog can find them even with no blood trail. [/QUOTE]
