I started out shooting ballistic tips in my STW (700 rem with a hart barrel and Mcmillan stock). They were very very accurate but on deer I would have one entry and about 5 exits shooting behind the shoulder. The bullet did not hold togther very well at those velocities. One of the pieces of the bullet would invariably bust the paunch and make a BIG mess. YMMV but I would advise you to consider a tougher bullet for hunting.
