Saddle,
<br>
<br>I should have added to my above post as to velocity. My bad, sorry.
<br>
<br>I push a 52gr berger bullet at 4280 FPS. It does shoot rather flat to 660 yards. I have killed deer with it to 400 yards, I have yet to have one get up and go anywhere. They just plain drop. I will add, neck shots, double lung shots, and even gut shots, they just plain drop. I have yet to try a "Texas Heart Shot".

<br>Sky,
<br>
<br>I am not calling you a liar but you are the only person I have ever heard of that had BT blow up on a neck shot on a deer. I have hit deer, broadside, at 420 yards, in the spine, it broke the deer in 2 and the exit hole was about 2 1/2" in diameter. What happened to you, I would consider a "fluke". I have killed a lot of deer using the 180gr ballistic tips and I have never lost a deer using them. The furthest any deer has ever gone on me using that bullet is 30 yards, most drop on the spot. I use BT's because they have a high BC and just plain shoot better then "most" hunting bullets out there. Seems most hunters either love em or hate em, I love em.
<br>
<br>Have a good one all,
