I have just taken possession of 4 boxes of 120 gr. Ballistic Tips to run in a 6.5 Grendel. At 2500 fps I expect good expansion and penetration from them along with fine accuracy. For years I avoided using Ballistic Tips because of the bad press they got early on but when that turned around I found them great bullets. A favorite is the 150 gr. .284 diameter Ballistic Tip. This bullet will do a heck of a lot of work out of a medium 7MM rifle.
Indeed. I have loaded that in my 7x64 and shot groups down to .35 inch. One of these bullets hit a young boar running away. It entered down its left flank behind the last rib and exited out the throat. Penetrated over two feet.
I have some 100, 120 and 140gn 6.5mm Ballistic Tips but have only shot paper with my 6.5x55. All have grouped under an inch at 100m (3 shots). The 120gn Ball. Tip will be the first bullet I try in my 6.5 CM when I get it.
