    Have used the 40gr NBT pretty extensively on wallabies, with a bit of use on goats too, so should mostly transfer across to the 50gr too..

    Very very effective projectile on wallabies. Have tried a range of pills, 55sp, 60hp, 50vmax, and several more, none performed as consistently as the 40s.. The Vmax gave similar terminal performance, but the 40s seemed a little more forgiving, almost as if they enlarged the effective vital 'bang-flop' zone by an inch or so in each direction.

    Pretty good on goats too, but did have a couple of delayed kills on big billies. Still did the job, just took a little while before they realised. Nannies and young ones, no problems though..
