I have been using Nosler Ballastic Tips for about 7 years now.
I have killed 14 deer with a rem .243 using 95 grain ballastic tips (hand loaded)
I have killed 7 deer with a savage .270 using 150 grain ballastic tips (hand loaded)
all have been one shot kills from 20 to 175 yards. most fell where they stood the others never traveled over twenty yards from where they stood. They cost for factory ammo is about $18.00 a box . Buy a box and form your own opinion.I do not think you will be disappointed.
