I gave up on using NBTs on game. All the deer I shot with them either dropped in their tracks or went maybe 10-30 yards, that’s great but the amount of meat damage was excessive. For me it’s bonded or Barnes on medium and big game. My 2 cents.
It’ll be real dope if you make a video with your best rounds for hunting (big game) on different calibers according to your results and data recorded...
It would be great to see a video with a high velocity load, mid velocity load, and a low velocity load simulating various distances. Shooting blocks at 25 yards simulates your being up in a tree stand, shooting a deer right underneath you. Thank you for making the video, great effort on your part!
Thanks Mate, it’s great that you give an opinion of use on lighter game, rather than just saying it’s a rubbish projectile. I’m probably going to find out in your dissection video, but I’ll ask now. So if I’m targeting lighter framed Animals, like smaller deer or large varmints (wild dogs, coyotes, Kangaroos) would this would be an explosive choice? If the Animals only have about a 12” cross section, explosive performance with limited penetration even at longer range and lower velocities would be useful.
I think this would be an excellent bullet as I do not believe it would be overly explosive on the animals that you've mentioned yet it does have that explosive nature dumping the energy where you need it dumped.
Could be worse. Maybe whitetail ok. I have a box of 150s in 7mm Rem Mag. May give them a whirl on Northwoods Great Lakes whitetail this year on my longer range clear cuts.
