[QUOTE="105Coues, post: 2140554, member: 65989"] Nosier changed the shape significantly over the years but still labeled them the same. Just different box. I was shooting them for years and then all the sudden the shape changed. Even more concerning to me, they have made them not expand as rapidly as the originals so terminal performance changed. I started looking into it after a couple of instances of bullets going through a mule deer and elk without the expansion they used to have. I contacted Nosler more than once and no replies...... that being said, apparently they provide no customer service but I still shoot there bullets as they are a very accurate bullet. The earlier versions were much more suited to long range killing imo. The mule deer was a mature buck at 300 yards with a 270 win 130BT at 3000. Right behind the shoulder through both lungs. Why wife shot him and when we crossed the canyon and walked up on him he jumped up and ran about 80 yards and collapsed. Older style that never would have happened. My son shot a bull with the same bullet at 475 bedded several times in the chest and the bullets were going through to the other side but not expanding like they should have. The older ones were extreme killers. Not sure why they thought they had to change them since they already had partitions and accubonds. My .02 [/QUOTE]
