    Nosler Ballistic Tip Hunting Bullets 30 Caliber (308 Diameter) 150 Grain

    Any one used these - seem to be reasonably priced for a starter ?

    They were accurate and good killers on tahr and reds but no more so than the corelocts, hotcores and interlocts. The price was double those and the thing that pissed me off the most was the plastic tips were so sharp that they ruined the pockets in my favourite buff order shorts that I had been using for hunting for the last 20 years. You only got them when you were posted to Singas or Malaya and I can't get any more so I have a grudge against anything with plastic tips. (My waistline also expanded around that time too)

    I tried them but wasn't happy with how they shot in my rifle so never tried on game
