It is not uncommon for the front portion of the Nosler to seperate and pieces of it scatter about inside the animal doing a lot of damage btw..What you will have left is a perfectly expanded bullet that appears much like a Barnes X but with all the petals still in place. If you do not want this to happen then slow the bullet down or go to a heavier Nosler such as the awesome 220 gr. 30 caliber, or from a 130 gr. .270 to a 160 gr. 270 in Nosler persuasion...I have been using Noslers for 50 years and it is the bullet by which all others are judged, how can you beat that?
Most of todays premium bullets are so good that comparing them is a waste of time..The Northfork, Woodleigh, Nosler, Swift, Barnes X and any of the new and popular bonded core bullets such as the interbond Hornady, Swift Sirraco, Nosler Accubond, etc. etc. will work fine 99% of the time, maybe a 100%...
I fear we have reached a point in bullet technowledgly thanks to the great bullet makers we have in the USA, wherein this "best bullet" arguement has about run its course and is no longer a viable discussion for the most part, at least IMO...
