Thread: Shot placement on deer with ballistic tips??

have had a great run with BT's but also some disasters, they are more frangible (thats a flashy word for break up easily) so prefer to go for the crease behind the front leg rather than the bone. I have seen 2 shots from a .308 BT into the shoulder of a big red spiker that could be described as flesh wounds only, about 100m distance. I've been told the .30 BT bullet was more frangible than other versions but anyway I shot it in the same place with an Accubond and the poor thing finally went down. Since them I've aimed for the softer spots with BTs and they work great on ribs, necks etc. Add a bit of distance and a more frangible bullet comes into its own with less speed they still open up.
