hate them. more deer lost with them over the years by friends than any other bullet. sst is just as bad. i shoot lead tip bullets only unless im varmit hunting.
and my friends and I have had the opposite experience. Probably bad shot placement, i can only speak for our Ga whitetail, but if you shoot for lungs behind the shoulder ballistic is not the bullet for that. The only deer I've ever had run, and they didn't go far, were shots a tad back.
