I don't doubt the ballistic tip is a good deer bullet, used properly (broadside shots or nearly so), but my one experience was with a heavy-for-caliber BT from a 7mm-08, and it was still way too explosive for my tastes. That was with a 150 from a 20" barrel. Blew a fist-size chunk of meat off the animal's neck.
I much prefer Accubonds. They are now my bullet of choice.
