When the NBT's first came out, I tried them in a 270 (130 gr), 7mm-08 (140 gr), 7mm Rem mag (150 gr) and a 30-06 (180 gr).
The 270 NBT's did good, by me, but both the 7mm bullets seem'd to explode on impact (never shot anything with the 30-06 before selling). Granted, the 7mm shot deer all died, but they did not leave much (if any) of a blood trail. These bullets would leave a HUGE "bloodshot" area on the impact side also. I found a few bullet jackets, but never any lead cores, while field dressing.
The newer "hunting" NBT's have a MUCH thicker jacket than the originals.
