Ballistic Tip pictures

SJB358 · Oct 22, 2010

Here are some pictures of a .243 95gr Ballistic Tip, .277 150gr Ballistic Tip and a .338 180gr Ballistic Tip. I had some spare time on my hands this morning between hunts, so I decided to give it a whirl. I have already seen some pictures of the .308 180gr BT, so I figured I would do some different ones. That 180gr .338 is pretty impressive. Has quite a base on it. It is no wonder alot of folks like them for bigger than deer game. Loaded right, I bet they are pretty dynamite. Anyhow, thought you all might wanna see some pictures.

Scotty,

Nicely done. A picture is worth a thousand words....
The heavy weight BT's are very robust.

The pictures certainly tell a story.

Yeah, the 338 is actually pretty impressive really. I think the 277 would be a fairly tough one also since it does have a good SD and should hold together pretty well at WSM speeds and penetrate well. Either way, I was kind of surprised to find what I did. It does take some work to file on them though! Scotty

It builds confidence for me. I've done the same on other brand bullets. It certainly shows what's goin on with the integrity of the bullet.

I'd say the most impressive is the AB's.

Yeah, I think the most impressive is the Partitions, but yeah the AB's are solid performers! I figured with all the talk about Ballistic Tips, it would be cool to see what they looked like. Scotty
