I have a box of Remington Premier 165 Gr Nosler ballistic tips and have absolutely loved them. They can definitely put deer down. On my buck this fall i had a clean lung shot, the bullet hit a rib on the way out and blew a giant exit hole. Deer ran maybe 50 yards and Stevie Wonder could have followed that blood trail. Looked like a scene from a horror movie. My point is: they work great.
Problem is, i can't seem to find any more. I checked all the stores around here last fall and couldn't find any. The guy at Herb Philipsons looked it up and couldn't find anything about them. I ended up buying some core-lokts instead, but still have a couple ballistic tips left.
I could be way off here because I am not an expert by any means. However, Nosler makes the Accubond bullet andRemington now has aPremier Accutip, which I believe they've had for sometime now. What I'm wondering if Federal has Nosler Ballistic Tips did Remington rename Ballistic Tips Accutip. Because aren't they basiclly the same bullet. I'm not sure how all this works with different companies having some of the same bullets from the same company. I also realize Remington does have a Accutip just for varmits. Like I said I could be way off and I apologize if I am. If you know different please let me know.
Oh ya I should also mention I realize that the Accubond is a totally different bullet. I'm just making the Accu connection with Nosler.
