Far better to try to learn from other peoples' mistakes and experience! If you can get it right from listening to, or watching, other people, then you're pretty good! IE., no fool!

jingzy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have used the 308 150 gr Ballistic tips in a friends rifle. Broadside shot. Bullet went in turned immediately right and ripped the haunch apart. I use the 129gr SST in 6.5 and have had a bullet enter on a broadside and immediately go up and through the spine. I do like the SST but every now and again the bullet head will do something silly. Probably something to do with the polymer tip as the Nosler also does it. I shot a roe today with the SST and it knocked it off its feet backwards. I prefer this as it drops the deer usually on the spot. This makes life easier when you are in a thick scrub environment. I have shot reds with it and it is a fantastic stopper. I shot a red with it today and the entry and exit was similar or less than a SP bullet. The only difference was that it had an additional 3/4 inch slash about 3 inches away from the exit wound. It could have been the tip, but I wont be skinning it until the 3rd so I might find out then.
