Has anyone tried Nosler Ballistic Tip Hunting bullets?

[thaHooligan]

I found some at a gun store recently and figured I would give them a try. Did a little testing and stumbled across a very accurate load for my Ruger American Predator 308, using 46 gr Varget, Hornady brass, CCI primers and 2.80 col. The bullets are 165 gr. I'm hoping to find some coyotes or hogs to test them out on pretty soon, but curious if anyone here has any experience with them?

Ive use the Nosler .284 150 gr. B-Tip in 7 Rem Mag on deer with excellent results.

I use the 55gr ballistic tips in my 223 varmint loads for my AR

The hornady ELD-M (match) and ELD-X (hunting) have very similar characteristics. I see basically no difference in accuracy between them.

Ballistic Tips are excellent hunting bullets for deer. I haven’t used h to em on anything larger.

I load those for BIL, he uses them with great success on whitetail in Kansas. Most are clean through and don’t go far with good blood trails.
They drop coyotes like a wet bag of cement.
Load is 45.5 varget.

I guess I could read the title

I had a Mauser target sight equipped heavy barrel in 30-06 that shot really well using the 165 gr over IMR 4064.
605 yd 8” gong at Whittington Center got heavily abused with that accurate load & gun combo
120 gr NBT factory loads in my 20” 6.5 Grendel AR put 3 deer in my freezer but the projectiles fragmented bad

I have used that exact same bullet on a handful of whitetails. No complaints here!
