Default RE: Nosler Ballistic Tips

If your situation dictates 150 yards shot being long their is simply no need for a polymer tipped/boattail design bullet. While i have taken many animals from 30 out with the NBT with no issues, I do expect damage and fragments may result when striking the target at such high velocity. As such I always aim behind the shoulder and plant it in the lungs first. When achieving this goal I have yet to see a lack of blood or an animal make it 100 yards. Simply put match the bullet to your uses and understand the design/purpose of that bullet...this way bad results don't happen.

BTW this season with my 7mm rem mag I shota mulie doe with 140 gr TSXapprox 150yards she left a meager trail and actually ran +100 yards. Ithen switched to my pet 150gr NBT for whitetail hunting and took a wtbuck at 100 yards which he literally folded in his track. Both shots were identical double lungs. I'll stick with my NBTs for deer and use Barnes forgame that requires such bullet construction (elk and moose).

If your looking for a comprimise maybe try the Accubond or Nosler Partition, both make a good wound channels but designed to retain more weight than the likes of NBT.
