I've never had one "blow up" at any range and really trust them. I've used 165 and 168 grn NBT in 300 mag and 300saum and they too have been great at all ranges.

    They are a much maligned bullet for no particular reason. I think it goes back to when they were first introduced and they were a bit thin in the jacket and explody. But not now.
    I used 125 BTs in my MLR .308 in the 90s and they were a bit fragile for my liking. Using 150 BTs in my 7mmRM now and no complaints.
    Here's the result of one passing through a chamois buck I shot recently. Broadside through the shoulder at 200 yards. The bigger rock was about 3m behind the chamois.

    I think 2206H would be the way to go in a short barrel too.
