I should have said, IMO BTs are not the best hunting bullets. I like bullets that retain more weight and don't fragment. I shoot magnum calibers at 3,200 fps+, so a bullet that isn't built like a tank fragments at those velocities. I'm sure a lot of people do just fine with BTs in standard calibers. But the OP was talking about a 7mag.

I will occasionally load a few BTs that are the same size/weight as my ABs just so I'll have something a little cheaper to practice with or to sight in a scope with. They fly the same. They just don't behave the same once they hit a deer - especially at higher velocities.

Wait? What? That is factually incorrect. They are great hunting bullets. I’ve killed several hundred deer with the Nosler 7mm 120 grain ballistic tips. In both 7 mag and 7mm08. I like it because it has a thicker jacket than the 140 grain. I use it because it’s the best bullet ever made for deer hunting.

100% agree it is the best deer bullet ever made. Does not destroy that much meat and breaks bones and blows a big enuff hole so all the blood runs out quick. And lastly they are way mo accurate than Hornady bullets out of my guns.
