Small sample but I killed my first deer (125 lbs doe) with a Nosler 120gr Ballistic Tip out of my Custom Brux barreled Ruger 77 MK/II 260 Remington.
Quartering slightly away it hit left side mid-rib and exited just behind the offside right shoulder.
Fantastic short and very heavy blood trail.👍

Sounds great on a fairly easy shot.
I have had them not exit anytime I included bone in the equation. I don't use them anymore because of it.

Works great in my wife's 6.5x55 on our small blacktail deer, I have been impressed with them. They seem to put deer down quickly. I use all sorts of different bullets in my 260 Rem because experimenting is fun but would have no issues using it exclusively like my wife does for deer.

I was thinking of trying them in my 264. Sounds like it might not be a good idea.
I did try them years ago, right after the BTips replaced the Solid Base line. The 120gr Solid Base was a great deer bullet in the 264. The early Btips were not so good. I was hoping maybe they had toughened them up...guess not. Think I'll just stick with the 125gr Partition.

The current issue 120 BT is a very good deer bullet. So is the 125 Partition, so no reason to change unless you feel like it.
Edit: I had 260 on the brain. For a 264 mag I'd stay with the 125 Partition.

My 6.5X55 spits them out at 3000fps. They are the most accurate hunting bullet that I have tried in it. They have come apart have inside three deer including a small doe and leave me with no exit hole/blood trail. Moved on to the 125 Partition, Hornady, and 120TTSX. Where I hunt I want deer to be leaking if they run.
