RE: balistic tip = hollow point
Yip, Noslter has one poly tipped bullet that they designate as "Varmint" and another poly tipped bullet designated as "Hunting". The Varmint bullet has a much thinner jacket for a more violent/quicker expansion.
As far as that goes, not all hollow points are created equal either. But as was mentioned, in general, the poly tipped bullets are designed for flatter trajectorys with higher bc's.

not really, todays nosler BT's come in 2 different configurations. if they are packaged 100 or 250 per box they are a thin jacketed HP with a polymer tip. if they are packaged 50 per box they are designed for med. thin skinned game, as a matter of fact they are the exact same bullet as the nosler solid base boattail with a polymer tip instead of lead.

I dont see how the nosler solid is the same, the solid is just that, solid= no lead at all.
