I see Nosler Solid Base bullets are back. 6mm and 30 cal, plus some others.

Solid bases were not around.

Any thoughts about them for hunting bullets?
 
The Solid Base bullets are great bullets for deer. I've used the 308 165 SB in a 308 Win and 6.5 140 SB in the 6.5 Wby RPM to take WT deer. Both loads also shoot .5 MOA.
I will use the 140 SB in the 6.5 Wby RPM this spring on TX hogs.

I'll probably buy a box to try in my 7-08. Found them at Midway for 26 bucks. I wonder if they are a little bit "tougher" than the 140 Sierra GK's. The GK is a great bullet but can be just a tad soft, depending!
 
I can’t remember, been too long.
Do they act more like the old BT’s or new BT hunting, concerning expansion?
