ballistic tips

[PJgunner]

I still have one box of 100 count 140 gr. Ballistic Tips in 7MM for my 7x57. It still sticks in my craw that Nosler cut the amount of bullets in half and raised the price to boot.
I shot one rather small Mule deer with one of those 140 gr. bullets and sadly lost it. The deer when hit turned down into a gully and when I went to get to where I could either get another shot of find it dead, the loose malpais shale did me in and I ruined my right knee. They were more concerned about getting me off that hill than trying to find the deer so I don't know what the bullet did.
That was six years ago and the knee is still a wreck. I didn't draw another tag until last year and we never saw a thing. I'm hoping that I draw for this year. otherwise, no hunting of big game for another year, and at 70 years old, there ain't too damn many years left.
