I once had a major disagreement with a guy. we both used .270 win. I used and swore by corlokts. He hated them as too hard and loved ballistic tips. My experience with BT's had been, well, Meh.
Turns out my natural aiming point tended to smash through bone. His was a bit further back. His bulet worked well for him. Mine worked well for me. Both are good it turns out.

asking 10 people on the net will give you an answer, but maybe not the one you need. Work out what you want to do and choose from there.
And of course.

Corlokts always win.

Absolutely.
One person's perfect bullet performance is different to another's.
Some like them to exit everything...some like them to dump all the energy in the animal and not exit.
Some guys like a big girls arse some like a little one.

In tight bush I want definite expansion and a definite exit for blood trail if needed.
Open country I'm not so concerned about an exit because generally can see where they roll down etc.
