A ballistic tip was messy? Say it ain't true. LOL.

I once shot a 3x3 at about 10' with an AR and 50gr bal tip. I was calling coyotes, blowing a dying rabbit call and he came out bristled up swinging his head. Not sure his intentions, but wasnt about to be gored or bred. . I found the deer but not a single drop of blood.

as was stated above, the bullet type is going to determine how messy it gets.
