Everybody tells me they have changed them an I do believe them. But I had 2 BAD experiences in 1994 with them and will never be able to make myself use them again. Typical close range WV shots which floored both deer like a sledge hammer...cept they got up and took off never to be seen again. Both shoulder shots...these were with 165 gr 30-06.

I do have quite a good supply of the Nosler Solid Bases here now though. They do pretty daggone good on deer. So if the Ballistic tips are the same now they should be a good bullet but it would be a big leap for me to ever use one again.
