Did a quick search and didn't find much.
I took advantage of the sale on Midway and picked up a bunch of .308 caliber 125-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets for my 7.62x39 and .308, and possibly even my '06. They are supremely accurate in both of the smaller guns, printing .5-1 MOA routinely out to 300 yards.
I think they are a great choice for my 7.62x39 for deer inside of 150 yards. However I've read very conflicting reports about using this bullet for deer out of a .308 at over 2800 fps. Some have suggested that any impact velocity above 2000 fps will cause this bullet to shed it's jacket.
I have ordered some 125-grain Accubonds for hunting with my .308 and plan to try them from my '06 as well, as a lower recoil option for these small Texas deer.
Anyone with real-world results on deer with this bullet, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks.
