That's some good data on the penetration tests, James.
Culled a number of S. Tx. whitetail does while coyote hunting with the 55 gr. NBT's in .223. All neck shots & were DRT with the little bullet.

As usual, I was a day late and a dollar short in discovering the Nosler SB's after they were discontinued. Did luck out and got in on the 100 gr. 6mm overrun.
I suspect Nosler discontinued the SB's as the BT's appear to be built on the SB cup:
