So, they have always been great at shooting bullets. I have found not to run them too fast; a little slower is better, so they don’t come apart as much. But for a ballistic tip of that design. 

Those are a lot of numbers to study but do so, and you’ll realize that at 300 yards, the higher BC Ballistic Silvertip retains more than twice the energy of the low BC round nose, drops 4 inches less and drifts 12.5 inches less! Those are huge, game missing distances. And all because of the bullet’s shape.
