When I first started loading for my 6mm. AI, I found that Nosler 95 gr. Ballistic Tips shot best in my rifle. In my old 6mm. Rem bbl. the Nosler Solid Base bullets were what I used with outstanding success on central Texas whitetails (generally not really big deer). But the SB's were discontinued after the then new BT's arrived.

There were many reports of the new BT's blowing apart on the shoulders of various species of game with little penetration to the vitals. I was extremely concerned with these reports because I really did want to use that 95 gr. BT in my new 6mm. AI.

Nosler had a lot of $$$ invested in developing that new bullet which was getting all that bad press. As a result, Nosler fixed that problem quickly. I think it was a do or die situation for them.

It was with some trepidation that I fired my first deer killing shot out of my new rifle with that 95 gr. BT. Fortunately, Nosler had already fixed that problem. The bullet penetrated both shoulders with that broadside shot at 200? yds. on that 100 lb. whitetail with good expansion and good exit wound. I've been using that bullet ever since in that rifle and have never had the slightest problem with game performance or with accuracy either for that matter in dozens of deer kills.

BTW, this is my first post here and it is obvious that this is a great site with interesting and friendly folks here. Looking forward to visiting here often.
