Seem's to me that they made that bullet to preform at long range. To preform at long range I would think they'd use a lighter jacket. Let's face it, at long range the velocity is greatly reduced so the bullet seem's be be need made a bit more fragile. American shooter's asked for this stuff and now they got it. Probably need to thank Berger!
Nosler designed the 150 BT for shorter distances not long range. Hence the reason they made the bullet with a thicker jacket.
Sierra does the same thing with some of there bullets such as a 160 gr game king has a thinner jacket vs a 175 gr that has a very thick jacket. Its actually all penned down for those who like to read.
