There's quite a few well regarded hunting Nosler ballistic tips that demonstrate excellent performance on game; the 0.284" 150 gr being one of them. I have no hesitation using 0.284" 120s and 150s and 0.308" 168s and 180s; those being the ones I happen to frequent. Sectioning of the current BTs will reveal there's a rather large amount of copper in the ass end and a tapered jacket. The current version (hunting) is certainly not the same as those that initially hit the market years ago.
