Thread: Shot placement on deer with ballistic tips??

Other polymer tipped bullets are not ballistic tips and have their own designation, SST, amax, ELD-x, Vmax etc.
Caliber is the size of the hole (roughly speaking) ie 7mm. or 6.5 or .223, .308. 7mm08 remington is a cartridge or chambering as is .223 remington., .223 wssm,6.5x284. norma or .308 winchester.
Annealing polymer tipped bullets will make them softer not harder but I don't think its a real thing and to try would defiantly indicate a certain personality type.
All are bullets or projectiles..... not pills or heads. Using the term "pills" also indicates a certain personality type and you should really get some professional help.
Yes its better to throw a 270 Winchester round than shoot it. ( note: this is a cartridge not a caliber )
Owning a 7mm08 is ok, a 243 will kill deer or most anything else. Blasers are ugly and have problems with plastic washers.
The owners of Blasers also have problems but of a different nature unrelated to plastic washers.
There is no "best" anything in this sport, no best scope , no best caliber( god help me ), no best bullet, there is only opinion and normally the best opinion will come from the guy on the internet with the coolest user name and/or the highest post count.
Dont overdo sunscreen, vitamin D is critical for good health. Get some sun but be smart and dont burn.
Save for your retirement, it's coming faster than you could ever imagine, along with failing eyesight,absentmindedness, insomnia and if your lucky only a mild form of
some auto immune disease.
Be good to your mother, she will be gone before you know it.


Some of the above is fact, some opinion, but as I don't have a very cool username or a high post count i suggest you ignore all of it.

2000 posts is not to be sneezed at.
