The ones I've seen are soft but they were early ones. They may have made them a little stouter since then.
95gr 6mm
154gr 7mm
150gr .308
No exits and very destructive
IME, all these are still pretty soft. They exit broadside lungs, but I'd be leery of any quartering shots, at least at near 3k starting speed. I've seen the 154 make softball-size exits in deer a few times. The deer are dead right there, but it's....overkill.
Overkill?
The theory that a huge exit hole just makes a mess and wastes meat depending on the location of the hit. Not really over kill but over damage or destruction is a more realistic wording...
Having run nosler BTs out of a 300 wtby mag that my BIL gave me to try, I only shot about 3 deer in the ribs to find that they still ran like hell at the shot( IMHO they run from noise, more than anything else and the 300s are loud) and had substantial damage and were a mess to clean. So why?
