If you want to drop a whitetail quick, the nosler ballistic tip, aka whitetail grenade, fired at close range and high velocity, is devastating. Just make sure you dont clip a branch or brush, as they will blow up. I went away from them and used the Barnes bullet for years, shooting about 25 deer with them, finding them extremely effective and never experiencing a failure. I used the accubond briefly, and did see 2 pencils with no expansion, out of a high velocity rifle. Since last spring, I've been looking for berger 6.5/130 hunting VLDs to shoot out of a 6.5-284 that I had built for me, but no luck tracking any down.
