Until I start loosing deer (which I won’t), my family uses Winchester ballistic tips 243, 7-08 and 308 and 300BO sst, and I use Hornady whitetail in my 7-08 for woods and thick cover hunting. I can swap Hornady whitetail 140 and Winchester ballistic tip 140 in my 7-08 with no dif in trajectory at all. We haven’t lost a hit deer in forever, I can’t even remember the last one. The one I shot last year and didn’t kill was 💯 on me and not the bullet.
We all have our favorites, but I’ve never seen damage like a ballistic tip will do.
FYI, there’s a lot of good bullets out there now especially.


Everything woke turns to shucks
