I base my opinion of the old ballistic tips on a sample of two, so, statistically meaningless. The first was a .308 165 gr. at about 50 yards on a broadside buck. MV was about 2550. Bullet grenaded but knocked the deer over. Second shot into the neck ended it. First bullet didn’t get past the shoulder blade. Second was a 115 gr. .257 at about 75 yards. Shot and hit the throat patch, bullet grenaded, deer ran off, did not find it despite good blood. Deer was seen and killed about two days later. I stopped using them. Newer bullets have been fantastic, with quick drops and good blood trails when they don’t drop.
