Morning , new here and never used nosler bullets . I hunt southern alabama whitetail. Thay are fairly small compared. 90-100 lb does 120-150lb bucks ..
Have always been curious about the nosler ballistic tip and Partition and how thay would preform on thin skin deer . We always used the winchester silvertip or corelokt . Im looking for something thats gonna leave a hole like the old corelokt did . Out longest shot is bout 150 yards .
Normally make neck shots or above the shoulder .
Shot one last year with a sierra gameking btsp . Did the job but didnt pass through on the neck .
Thanks , chris
 
Welcome to the forum.
The Nosler BT was designed to be a deer bullet. I’ve taken countless deer with BTs in various calibers and weights resulting in a dead deer. Most are DRT but some have run but not far leaving a good blood trail. I’ve only recovered one.
BT’s are accurate. If you can’t get them to shoot, you have bigger issues with the rifle.
