As for me I like to be ready for anything that presents itself. A shot between 50 and 500 with whatever I'm caring. This year it was a .338 Ultra Mag and I don't think a B.T. would have held together at the range and velocity that I hit my deer this year but it was the only deer I saw that day and had to take the shot. I was using a 210gr TSX at a muzzel velocity of 3379fps and the deer was 90 yards away when I hit it and the bullet stayed together very little blood shot meat and complete pass through. The deer didn't go 5ft from where it was hit either. This load consits of 96gr of RL22 and shoots 1/2 groups when I do my part what more could a guy ask for. I use another load with a 210 Swift Scirocco and 97.5gr of RL25 this moves at 3248fps leaving 1/2 to 5/8 groups day in and out. To me this too is a better all around bullet for all circumstances one may come across in the field. But these are just what I choose to use right or wrong that's the way it is.
