Thread: Varmint rifle

are the 90gr ballistic tips strong enough to hold together for shoulder shots?

I used the 150BTs thru my 7rem mag and they really impressed me

My 243 is not my deer rifle so I never tested them on a larger shoulder, goats from pretty much any angle they worked well... Lots of goats dropped but very few were looked at to see how they went as most ended up in gorges or hung up in bluffs etc, we were culling not hunting for meat and most shot from 350-400, the odd one 30-200 yards and they died OK but not as well as the ones further away.. Not sure why, Close exited fine still
