When ballistic tipped bullets first came out I bought a box for my favorite hunting rifle like so many others did as well , I figured out a load for it that was accurate and waited for the opener of antelope season .
Long story short I filled both antelope tags I had shooting that rifle with those bullets which literally splattered on impact on a thin skinned animal I've not hunted with any ballistic tip bullets since I respect the animals more than you may realize .
No it's wasn't a .300 Winchester mag it's little brother the .7 mm Remington mag
