Has anyone used a 30 cal 125 gr Ballistic Tip for Deer? If so, what were the results?
Thanks.

I've used it a fair bit as has my Dad. R15 and the 125 NBT in an 06 resulted in some very dead deer/lopes.

Yep, used it with success in the .308 with H380, running a little over 3000 fps. It was a bit explosive, but I never lost a deer, just some meat. It is a GREAT bullet for reduced/slower loads.

The 125 BT and IMR 4350 will slap lay out deer.
