I would put them on any game in washington with the correct application of accuracy and weight.




Same here. I'd hunt elk or moose with BTs of the correct weight without a second thought.

 I've usd BTs for probably 20 years.  I've never had one stay inside an animal. I've never seen them work anything less than perfectly.

My brother uses them also. They've worked great for him for a lot of years as well.

I think a lot of the badmouthing of BTs comes from dudes that are just regurgitating something they heard some other dude say.

My experience with BTs has been nothing but positive. If they stop working (doubtful) I'll start shooting something else.

Here is what I have personally seen them do or have on reliable authority.

1. 308 165gr into small whitetail buck at 50 yards slight frontal shot slightly quartering complete pass through DRT

2. 308 165gr into small whitetail doe at 120+/- yards shot VERY far forward broadside in front of the near shoulder, slight quarter, blew out off side shoulder and deer only ran 30 yards and piled up

3. 30-06 125 grains medium bodied buck whitetail broadside vital shot DRT. Heart was not hit but was turned into jello

4. 7mmWSM 140 gr large whitetail doe broadside at 40 yards total internal devastation no exit DRT little meat loss

5. 243 70gr into pronghorn at 200 yards DRT 
Bang...Flop......No tracking required.

I use them in my 7mm Rem Mag. I use 150gr, loaded up to about 3100fps. Sighting in I stacked the bullets on top of one another at 100rds from a bench. later I used them in Oklahoma to take 2 white tails at about 150yrds. both bullets when through with a pretty good hole on the exit, both those deer only had one good jump in them then died basicly right there. Its all Ill use now.
