I do know that the .284 120 grain Ballistic Tips of fairly recent manufacture have rather thick jackets, more so that earlier ones.


I'm an old fart that has a sizable cache of Solid Bases in many sizes (Am I a Hoarder?). These are great deer/antelope/sheep bullets. AND, I've found that every handload recipe with SBs can be used with BTs. The chronographed velocities are very close, too.


I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.
