I've shot a lot of animals with my ballistic tips, but the posts above have some very good advice.
And even though my rifle shoots them very well, I would not use them on a bear.
They definitely weren't meant for something that tough.
I agree Jim.
I always slip it in behind the that heavy shoulder bone, fairly low … top of the heart / bottom of the lungs.
That's a great spot to hit 'em.
Hilltop, I'm sure that info on ballistic tips is correct.
I will also say that my old 30-06 shoots 165gr ballistic tips the best and I think bullet placement is critical so I use them.
I've killed a number of elk with them without issue and they all dropped basically in their tracks.
So if...
Thanks Kid, I appreciate that.
I understand your perspective on this thing.
For me, I think It’s hard to tell what’s really happening when all the news sources skew the information to fit their agendas.
Hey, I think I gave the answer ...
I wish the drawing were today, and you wish you and Ike were calling calling someone today ...
Sooooo ... see where I’m going with this ? 😁
