Troy,

Like so many aspects of the shooting sports world, bullet design and construction have not remained static. When Nosler first introduced the "Ballistic Tip" bullet they were all quite fragile, especially those under 30 caliber. These bullets have been redesigned. Today there are two types of Ballistic Tip bullets marketed by Nosler, the Ballistic Tip Varmint and Ballistic Tip Hunting. The former is designed for explosive expansion and the latter is designed for deer size game.

The point of the ammunition section of the article is deep penetrating "premium" controlled expansion rounds are not needed for Whitetail deer.
