Anyone got experience with these. I have used ballistic tips in my .308 for a long time and have had great success with them. I plan on taking my SAIGA hunting this season. I have SP rounds for it, but id like to know how the Ballistic tips match up. THANKS

Haven't tried the BT's yet but the Sierra 150gr pro-hunters work quite well. Tried the Lee 155gr cast but there's little control in the amount of expansion from them. Too hard and they act like an FMJ, too soft and they loose penetration. Went to the 150gr .309" mold, lapped it out to throw .312" as cast from WW. Off hand I think they're running about 2150 fps (don't have my book handy) but these work quite well and have proven to function in the SKS w/o a problem.
