Nosler Whitetail Country Solid Base
“Solid Base® bullet, renowned for its precision and terminal performance, incorporates a fifth-generation tapered jacket and a heavy solid base to deliver deep penetration and optimal expansion for quick, efficient kills. Its boat-tail design and aerodynamic profile ensure superior accuracy and wind resistance, making it the ideal choice for deer hunters looking for exceptional performance.”
Available loads:
- 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr SB
- .270 Winchester 130gr SB
- 7mm-08 Remington 140gr SB

Nosler Whitetail Country Straight-Wall
“Straight-Wall™ bullet is tailored for the slower impact velocities typical of straight-wall cartridges. It boasts a flat base, a thin jacket at the tip, and a lead nose to ensure reliable expansion, even at extended ranges. The truncated nose design allows for smooth feeding across various action types, while the form-fitted lead core enhances stability and accuracy. This cutting-edge design mirrors the stopping power of standard bottleneck rifle cartridges while being fully compliant with straight-wall cartridge regulations.”
Available loads:
- 350 Legend 180gr SW
- 45-70 Government 300gr SW

I think most hunters have already found a cartridge that works best in their rifle and they aren't going to buy new products to test but if you're new to hunting or just bought a new deer rifle it might be worth buying a box to see how it shoots but downrange performance isn't going to be known until it has track record. Personally I'm sticking to my all copper choice with a proven bullet design and it shoots very well out of my rifle.
I would try it to see how it groups, especially if it's on the shelf price is budget friendly.
