Polycarbonite Tipped Bullets
I shoot a Browning X-Bolt rifle in the .270 Short Mag. caliber. Yesterday, after the 15 turkey hens left my patch, an 8-point walked out at 5:15pm. I took a broadside shot at 40 yds and the deer just took off running. No blood or hair in the patch and I found only four drops of blood in the woods, in the first 100 yds. Apparently, the bullet never opened up, just punching a small hole in the deer. I could tell when I shot that the deer didn't feel any impact. I never found the deer. I'd heard good things about these bullets but I'll not be using them again.

That's exactly what I shoot in my 270. The Federal Premium with the Sierra BTSP. My gun really shoots them well.
