[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 1900135, member: 108912"] Interesting question that I had not thought about despite stocking up on a lot lately of both Accubonds and BTs from SPS. I tried a box of "Nosler Solid Base - Ballistic Tip" 140gr / 7mm in my 7RM back in 1991. They were accurate but the only one I shot at game pretty well blew apart on a close range mule deer shot, and I never used those again. It was a dramatic and instantaneous kill though the lungs but it acted like a varmint bullet on that mulie - no exit and just shrapnel inside. They're a lot tougher and better now, of course. So I just went and opened up the old box and the remaining ones look good as new. I tried to bend or scrape the tip and I can't tell it's changed a bit in the almost 30 years they've been in my stash (in the original box, in the climate controlled house, in both Nevada and Arizona).
