I started loading the 165gr BT when they first came out.I load them for my wife rifle and mine. Never once have they failed either of us and together we have taken over 50 deer with them. I load the 115gr for my 25-06 and the 150gr or 140gr for my 7mm mag as well. I have never had any problems with the Nosler BT. I have nothing but good to say about the Nosler BT. I did buy a box of 165gr SST in 30 cal for my 06, but I havent loaded any of them up as to date. Its been my experience that if you put the shot where it needs to be then the BT will get the job done.
