Antelope, 150 yds, 22-250 with Sierra 55 gr spitzer boat tail. Heart and lungs were obliterated. Somehow it broke 2 ribs going in but the hole in the hide was only 1/4" wide. It barely clipped the soft tissue in the back of leg but not enough to expand it. remaining weight 27 gr. Found just inside far shoulder, hit no bones after the entry ribs.

That 150 BT is not that bad....Ive seen wound channels like that from 7mm Partitions.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

The newer ones are much better than the older ones for sure.

Yes it is. I have a bunch of TTSX here for it, but haven't got through all the TSXs yet. Funny you mention that though, as I was just thinking of loading some the other day. It is just that I have a lot of 7-08 loaded, but a lot of Barnes bullets on hand.
I also have like 700 Winchester PP here. 150 gr. I decided I may just sling them at Michigan deer. I don't think the results will be any different. They aren't as sexy, but were less than half price of the Barnes and will drop deer all day long...

I did use to see that from the old Solid Base and other BT's but it looks to me like they are tougher than I thought.

Well, if you look at the cross sections of the respective bullets on Nosler's website the BT looks a whole lot like the front part of a partition. The jacket gets pretty thick towards the rear and it has a solid base.
From my experience with 150 grainers in 30-06, the wreckage looks pretty much like baldhunter's pic. Fine bullets IMO.

The cross sections I did,the ballistic tip looked like the accubond without the bonding.I quit using them back in the early 90's,but the newer ones are really good. http://www.nosler.com/ballistic-tip-bullethttp://www.nosler.com/accubond-bullet/http://www.nosler.com/partition-bullet/

I know what ya mean Bob. They did used to be bombs IIRC.
I was ruined on BT apparently because I tried them when they first came out. Mostly in 7mm and .277. I personally have only killed 1 deer with a 270 Win. It was with an early version 130 NBT. But my bud and his late dad killed a bunch with those 130s that I saw. Every kill in both 7mm and 270 was just.......messy........

I think that might be why I have a stash of them now. I got into reloading about 4 years ago just before the Sandy Hook ammo panic and SSTs and BTs were the only bullets I could find afterward so I bought a few hundred. I think everyone else bought the "good bullets" up first and left the "bombs" on the shelves, at least for a while......luckily, they ain't bombs any more.

I did the same thing with the early 150BT out of my 7mags. Hated the darn things. The latest 150 and 120g .284's are tough though (thanks Dober and Mule Deer for convincing me to try them again).

Latest? How do you define that...part number, packaging, etc? There is an elderly gentleman at the local gun club that quit hunting is going to be selling .284 bullets and reloading equipment.

Yes they were very messy and just blew all to pieces.In 1994,I shot a buck in the shoulder at 250yds with the old 150gr ballistic tip and it didn't make it through the scapula.He went down and I did recover the deer with a neck shot later.I was quite surprised when I cleaned the deer,because I could clearly see blood coming from his nose and mouth and I thought that it had penetrated into the chest cavity.I guess the old 7mag hit him hard enough to knock the wind out of him and cause him to hemorrhage on the inside.I guess there is another argument for using enough gun.Had I been using a small caliber that day and the same thing happened,I am sure that deer would have never been recovered.I have those pieces somewhere and if I can find them I'll post the picture.After that I switched to a different bullet and just started shooting them again the last couple of years and find them to now be a very good bullet.This is a photo of the fragments of the old 150gr 7mm BT I recovered from the buck's scapula.

A puny 87 grain HotCor 250-3000 exit hole on this camp meat. Grazed a rib going in from just shy of a 100 yards.
