Pretty serious bullet from my view.

Looks like a beautiful death awaits.

What is different about the SB jackets, compared to BT Hunting?

 

[JD338]

The BT came from the SB design. Nosler took away the lead soft point and replaced it with the polycarbonate tip. The jackets are the same.

I foresee quick kills in your future!

That did very well for a cup and core bullet at that velocity. How's accuracy with that load?

 

[JD338]

Accuracy is excellent, sub .5 MOA. I shot this late season doe last season at 150 yds with this bullet.

Look like she was losing some good amount of engine oil. Those SB are the real deal in hunting bullets.

There wasn’t much left when I cleaned her out.

I don’t understand the re- release of a bullet that expands and penetrates exactly like a current offering, is it just nostalgia?
Or are they trying to sell to the guys that are scared to use “Ballistic Tips” from the reputation of the early version maybe?

 

[Hunter26]

Nostalgia and price point?

Nostalgia and price point?

Exactly. It cost less money to manufacture a cup and core bullet with out the ballistic tip
