Most every animal I have shot with a Nosler BT has a blood trail Ray Charles could follow..
I used BTs in .270 Roy and .300 Roy and rarely got exits on bigger wild hogs, and not much blood to follow.

that doesnt explain the DRTs I had with the old FailSafes even at ranges out to +/- 400yds.
less frontal area compared to other expanding designs and not the disintegrating explosive effect of NP/BT.
...but down they went.
They ones that were not DRT, typically left a sufficient blood trail to follow.
I've used the 180 BT out if a 300 rum on game up to elk. Never recovered s bullet out of a deer. Did find one under the hide on a elk that dropped in its tracks. Never had a deer run at all while using that bullet.
