[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1156411, member: 59915"] I often see the bloodshot, tore up rib cage on the opposite side, but I don't eat the ribs anyways. So I'd rather see the vigorous expansion. I've killed many many deer, hogs, coyotes, and other stuff with Ballistic tips and all of them when field dressed the lungs have been disintegrated into pulp almost. Like I said before, I don't think they can be beat for short range performance. They just don't have the ballistic properties to be a 1000 yard big game bullet. 500, 600, even 700 yards no problem with the right cartridge. My buddy uses 140 grn BT in his 7RUM because that's what the gun likes to shoot, but if there's the slightest wind he gets so much wind drift it's amazing. My slow plinker load for practice runs 2400 with174 grn SMK bullets and he'll have more wind drift at 900 yards with his 7RUM at almost 1000 more fps than my practice load. I'm not knocking BT bullets though, I love them. No matter the caliber, when is go to load for a new short to midrange hunting gun I reach right for Nosler BT because I know they'll shoot great and kill even better. [/QUOTE]
