The BT's were quite tender when they were first marketed, especialy the 30 cal's at upper end velocities.
If you recall the BT's were first offered in 100 ct. boxes, when nosler addressed the problem they didn't realy discontinue the SB, what they did was changed it to a BT, Yes todays BT's are the same bullet as the SB with a polymer tip.
They also changed the packageing, the varmint BT's are packed in 100/250 ct boxes, the med big game bullets are 50 ct.

BTW I shoot .284 140 BT's to 3550 fps in my 7 STW, most exit if you stay off the shoulder, when I shoot my bigger 7mm I move up to a 160 accubond.
