Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Ballistic Silvertips, 150gr 30 cal. (Or the regular Nosler BT)

Has Nosler beefed up the 150gr jacket/wall thickness in comparison to what they were turning out 6-8 years ago?

I don't know the answer to your question but I do know I have used the 150 grain ballistic tip in my 300 saum on 5 trophy South Carolina and Georgia whitetails the last three years and I'm still using it without even considering another bullet

What was your closest and farthest shot? Did all the bullets exit?

Deer 1: 20-30 yards. Exit, drt
Deer 2: 50 yards. Drt. No exit (shot was quartering toward me on point of shoulder)
Deer 3: 150 yards. Only one that ran because I hit him further back than I like and punched the ribs without breaking down his shoulders (I like to bust bone, preferably breaking down front shoulders)
Deer 4: 75 yards. Exit, drt
Deer 5: 130 yards. Exit. Drt

Im a 165 ,168 gr guy, 3006 and 308, BT's have worked like magic since I started using them the year they came out, very accurate and 98% of the whitetails were dropped in tracks ,bang flop ,DRT very best winpoor

Those are some nice deer smf!

Are these out of a 300WSM? Did you happen to recover the bullet that didn't exit? If so, did it look ok?

300 saum. Didn't recover the bullet that didn't exit but the deer didn't take a step

10-4. Do you live around Charlotte?
