All ballistic tips aren’t created the same. Even NBTs are different depending on caliber and weight. Just have to pick the best one for your application.

So how can I possibly know which bullet to pick???


Research. I’m not saying that to be a dick. I didn’t learn the difference in some of the Nosler ballistic tips(NBT) until recently. I haven’t researched the 277 caliber bullets for which NBT is best. Sorry no help on the caliber. I looked more at the 7mm and 308 cal NBTs. However , I bet if you dropped to 130/140 grain bullets in Accubond or Partition, you’d be happy with the results. Should give you the two holes that you like(I prefer that as well) and more speed to potentially causing more internal damage.
