Ballistic Tips....

[dscubame]

What am I missing?  I have Barnes Accubond with a ballistic tip that I shoot out of by 30-378.  A few years ago the Accubonds I was shooting did not have a ballistic tip and now they do.  Or so I thing it is a ballistic tip but I question that cause this thread seems to refer to ballistic tip as a type of bullet.  Am I confused?

Ballistic Tip is the name of a bullet made by Nosler. The Accubond is an entirely different bullet. It's bonded which keeps it from coming apart inside the animal. Accubonds are also more expensive than Ballistic Tips.

Roger that.  So many different types of bullets are being produced with plastic tips that sharply pointed.  Thanks for the clarification that was where I was confused.

But the accubond is a Nosler bullet too, not a Barnes.

Yes, of course. I thought everybody knew that.

As my old basketball coach used to tell me "don't think it hurts the team" 

Accubonds all the way!!! Dropped a lot of elk with 140 grn accubonds from my 7mm
