There are many ballistic tip TYPE bullets and all are built different.
Its not the ballistic tip, its the one he chose.
If it had Scirroco's or Hornady interbonds, I would have said good choice.
The ones he picked though have a bad rep for fragmenting and I wouldnt shoot them at anythng but a prairie dog.

We will find out tomorrow - I'm getting antzy.

I was able to find a different load (130gr Nozler Partitions) but I was not ever able to get to the range again, so I will do as planned and use the 130gr Rem PSP and just be selective on my shot.

Wish it wasn't so dang hot tomorrow but I have no control over that. Will take plenty of bags of ice to ice down any trophy and fortunately it isn't a long drive to the processor.

Will post up on pics this weekend if the hunt is successfull, full report either way.

Just remember most calibers will bring down most north american animals with a well placed shot some just fall easier than others.

I shot a small doe with a 30-06 165gr sierra gksp through the heart and out the other shoulder breaking it in half. The doe still ran about 30 yards. But on the other hand i once shot a doe with 6 shot while rabbit hunting and she fell like a rock.

it amazing how some animals just refuse to die.
