Ballistic Tips are extremely accurate but they open up really fast. :smile: I shot a spike a few years ago with a 165gr .30cal BT and the bullet broke both back legs and shot its balls and pecker off at 40yds

I used 150 gr .30-06 noslir partition remingtons this year for wild boar and for deer. I shot two boar and didn't have an exit wound on either one, but neither one ran more than 30 yards before it died. I was very happy with them for that. The buck I shot this year had almost a 2 inch exit wound, Thats a little much. It defenitly wasn't going anywhere but I lost some meat over that.

closest shot for me was with 165gr BT out of a .300 win mag. It went completely through a 180# buck at ~60 yards. Normal entrance wound (behind shoulder about midway up)with a snuff can size exit affecting the shoulder and area just behind it.
They make more than one type of BT these days. They vary jackets thickness, taper, etc. The ones I use are intended to take deer.
