Any opinions on .25 caliber ballistic tips ?
I've used them from my .25-06, at only about 3120 fps mv on several mule deer and a couple of pronghorn. Instant death. Complete penetration broadside. Good expansion.
Recovered one bullet from the rear quarter of a pronghorn I shot in the chest at roughly 160 yards. It was well expanded.
Very accurate also...
Not a .257 Wby, but it's doing fine and likely that I'll keep using the 115 gr Ballistic Tips for my .25-06 rifle. Did use the 115 Berger VLD's, happily, for two or three mule deer as well.
Tried the 100 gr TSX at 3340 fps. Two mule deer. One at about 20 yards - that bullet expanded for sure! The other was at about 120 yards, and I never was sure if the bullet really expanded at all, but it did kill the deer.
FWIW, Guy
