I have had nothing but bad luck with the Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets they have always exploded and only one exit wound. The only exit wound that I have seen using one came from a 25-05 and you put a basketball through the hole! The rest of my experience with them is all failure to exit. Most recently was 3 years ago with a .270 Winchester loaded with 140gr B.T.'s at about 3000fps. This buck was shot twice first time in the neck at 80 yards and the second time in the chest. The first shot exploded on the neck failing to penatrate through or break it all that resulte was blood shot meat. The second shot entered on the near side and exploded no exit wound at all. After that I use Hornady SST's and Swift Scirocco's all the accuracy benifits without the explosions. I have used these 2 bullets in everything from .260 Remington to my .338 Ultra Mag with great results and have found no reason to try B.T.'s again. Most recently I am experimenting with .30 cal 180gr Interbond's in my .300 RUM to see what these will do.
