Ballistic Tips Work Better With Heavier Bullets

The NUMBER ONE bullet most professional outfitters and guides hate are the ballistic tips.

Good enough reason for me to use them exclusively. :D

I love the 180-gr. Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertips because they provide violent expansion and exit wounds from most angles.  The heavier grains are sure impressive;  I have tracking well hit deer.

FYI:

Nosler says that beginning with the 30 caliber 180-gr. Ballistic Tips (and larger), the jacket's profile is changed or upgraded to a much stronger contour similar to the AccuBond (shown below).  The lead core is also hardened over the 165-gr. and below bullets.



Lighter weight bullets like 165-gr. 30 caliber and lower (shown below) do not have the thicker contour which starts in the middle of the shell and goes down to the base.



In summary, one might suggest that the 180-gr. Ballistic Tip is simply a non-bonded AccuBond.
