For the velocities of the cartridges mentioned the nosler BT's do very well on deer if your guns like them you can't beat them. I shoot noslers in alot of my rifles with no complaints.

I think people expect to see a bigger difference between bullets than their really is. That being said, I have had very good luck with Nosler bullets. No issues with Hornady or Sierra either. Where you're more likely to see a difference is if you are shooting a cartridge that pushes the bullets very fast for their weight or otherwise on the margins of their performance range.

Accuracy wise I really don't see a difference between Noslers and any of the others overall. Now one gun may not shoot a particular bullet well but that's the fun of reloading.

Nosler makes great bullets, in fact, the Nosler Partition is the bullet everyone compares their's to. It is the old stand-by for great bullet performance. For game, I would stay away from the Ballistic Tips as they tend to blow up and go with the Accubonds or Partitions.

Do you believe that spending extra money is going to kill the deer more dead in their tracks?

Been shooting the Nosler Partitions at big game for more than 40 years...7mm rem mag and 140 grainers...NO animal hit with one ever lived..every single animal recovered and those that took a few steps never took many!! What else can I say..the vast majority of bullet had complete penetration and always a good blood trail and I've never had one come apart and accuracy had always been around an inch at 100 yards with a factory rifle.

I have shot noslers for many years. I loaded ballistic tips the very first year that they came out and was extremely impressed with the accuracy that they held in my rifles. Also I shoot Hornady, sierra, Barnes, and speer, the only trouble that I have had with was the Speer Grand Slams.

For deer hunting, you will NOT see much difference. If you use the Partition or the Accuboind, you will get better preformance on elk, moose, and caribou. For deer, stick with the bullets that have worked for you for so long.
