RE: Nosler Ballistic Tips
I’ve used BTs since the late 90s loaded in a 30-06. Used weights 125, 150 and 165 on whitetails and coyotes. Never lost a animal and never had one go more than 20 or 30 yards. I don’t load them too hot, but even so a shoulder hit at close range will have A LOT of meat damage. As far as penetration, I once took a doe with the 150s at about 60 yards quartering away from me with her head held horizontal to her body. The bullet entered at her last rib and traveled through her chest cavity hitting most vitals, than continued to travel through her neck and exited with a quarter size whole about 6 inches from her head. They’ve worked for me.
