Can anyone comment w/ experience, if these 160gr tipstrike are similar in performance to a ballistic tip or???

Thanks

Good question. This will be my first experience with them. My hopes are that they hold together better than the BT and perform similar to say the Accubond, or somewhere between the two. Some reviews out there make it sound like that may be the case, but hopefully I'll be able to let you know this fall.

The crosscut image of the bullet makes me believe it will be most similar to the Nosler Accubond.

Saw ammo at the store the other day and took a picture for some info from Norma about expected performance from their 2 tipped projectiles.

Any idea what twist rate would work for the .264/6.5mm 156 grain VULKAN bullets and where one would get loading data?

There wasn't any PRC information.

This is anecdotal, my 8 twist Proof stabilizes the 156gr Berger at Creedmoor velocities, unimpressed with accuracy, so they are going in the PRC or I will get a 7 twist to replace it.

I'd use in a 6.5-06 or a 6.5-06AI. I have 9 and 8 twist barrels available. Looks like you'd get better velocity from 6.5 x .300 Weatherby. Really not necessary to use a bullet like that on antelope.
