I have been very happy with the NBT 90 grain on deer. One of the best blood trails I have ever seem came from that round, even though I watched the deer go down and didn't have to track it. I know they hold together well too because I have used them as close as 8 yds, but they aren't screaming out of the muzzle either (2880 fps).
My biggest problem related directly to the rifle (H&R Handi Rifle) and not to the bullets, but the NBT was the first one that I could get a decent group with. The SST 95 grain was consistently the worst group at 100 yds being 6-8 inches with multiple powders. Factory Remington CoreLokts were generally grouping around 4 inches. I was really frustrated with everything I tried because I know those bullets are game getters, but my rifle apparently has very particular tastes. The NBT shoots under an inch for me and has always put animals down cleanly.
