What is a ballistic tip bullet?

Ballistic tip bullets are made in the same fashion as hollow-point bullets and spitzer bullets, and they are designed to perform with the advantages of both bullet types.

If the water is slow moving and has little to no current, the minimum thrust is more than enough. For faster-moving waters, accommodate with additional thrust. If the boat is used for multiple days in a row..
