"Sometimes it only takes one experience to make a believer."

I had the reverse experience. Used a l00 gr. .25 cal. bullet in the early days of the BT bullets and was severely disappointed due to blow up. Have never hunted with them since.

Nowadays I do little deer hunting so it doesn't matter. For moose have used partitions for years and see no reason to change them for something else.

I use some of Hornadys plastic tipped bullets in my .22 centrefires and they shoot well but otherwise I pretty much avoid the large caliber plastic tips.
I realize many people have had positive experiences with the BT's but the only thing I use them for (if they are given to me) is to shoot paper.
