From my experience ballistic tips are very accurate and shoot great groups. However they are better suited for long shots hence the small exit wound and the deer running. Also, I fell that a .243 with a 95 grain bullet is insufficient for a whitetail unless shooting neck shots. I prefer to shoot nosler partition bullets in my rifles. If the deer does run their is normally a great blood trail. Just recently I bought a 7mm wsm and have been shoot nosler ballistic tips. This bullet has the accuracy of the ballistic tip, but the penetration of a nosler which gives you the best of both worlds. Also it groups very well.

You protect such things as Honor and Fidelity. Your virtues matter not only in wealth, but in the richness of family, you are the last of the knights."
