I see a lot of positive comments on the ballistic tip from Nosler...and yes at one time I too was a big fan of this bullet. It' s one accurate and devastating projectile.

However I had an experience that totally changed my mind about this style of bullet. I shot a deer and it run about 50 yards and piled up. I took a very long time to find the deer because there was no trail to follow....there was no exit hole and this is by design per a letter I received from Nosler. The bullet is designed to shed 80% of it' s weight in the trauma channel and I' ve never had one shoot thru a deer.

Today I want an exit hole. I' ve moved up to a 150 grain bullet with the hopes of achieving this. I have shot no deer yet with the 150s so I can' t say if I' ve been successful yet.
