Hate them! Lost 2 Mule Deer with them. Shot an Antelope thru the lungs and all my friends asked what I shot it with?! It looked like I shot it with a shotgun!!!

Shatter on shoulders and blow up on lungs. Loved the ballistics, hated the performance.

A lot better bullet is either the Swift Scirocco (sp?) II and/or the Barnes MR X. Both FAR superior to the Nosler Ballistic Tips, especially in hand cannons. Same ballistcs, better performance.

The only thing I use Ballistic Tips for are on varmints where they are suppose to blow up!


Not as lean, Not as mean, But still a Marine!
