I have usd them in my .270 (under the "magical" 3,000fps) awesome bullet never had an animal take more than a step or two. period. used some in my .300 wsm and shot an 150 class 11 point at 82 yards and it did't make an exit wound. Hard tracking job but the animal was recovered. Shot a Sika buck at 90 yads....same thing. shot a blackbuck with my .257 weatherby and used 115 gr. ballistics. shot him at 250 yards. killed him dead,but the bullet did the same thing. it came apart and didnt push on through and leave a blood trail. I have since stopped using ballistic tips in anything that travels over 3,000 fps and started using the barnes triple shock bullet and haven't had a problem since
