Nosler Performance

Hi.
Well this thread could actually go in a few different pages, but I thought I'd put it here.
Last week I headed bush to find a deer... I found one.. And the video is below.

However the main reason I put up this thread is when butchering the animal today I found the projectile. So I just use a common as muck 150gn Nosler Ballistic Tips in my. 284.. This bullet went in a bit far back as you'll see.. And went through the vitals and the off shoulder. I found it under the skin at the front of the off shoulder under the skin. So yeah.. I thought some would be curious to see it projectiles performance.

It's lost a bit of weight but it looks like it's proformed well.
Nosler make a dam nice projectile.

150g 30 cal NBT


The Nosler BT have a nice solid copper boat tail which helps with penetration

Their partitions are awesome too!
No flash harry big bc but they just work

I've been using 150 BTs out of my .308 for the last couple of years. More than happy with both accuracy and terminal performance on reds and fallow.

How do you think they would go at 30/30 velocities??

Good bullets. The 140gn BT kill extremely well in my 708. Have recovered a few as well from the animal.

I use 165s in my 308. Man they shoot and perform good

Just got a box of 140gn Accubonds to try out in for the 6.5 cm.
Been using fed fusions off the shelf ammo and it is shite.
they seem to in and out on reds fallow and goats. The only one that didnt and i recovered was from a red stag at 120m. It was in about 5 pieces.
All other animals seem to go straight through,

Looking forward to try these out on some animals. With the range closed here atm is hard to get any data worked up.

AB's are fairly hard, you might get a few pencil through at CM velocity unless you hit bone.

You maybe better off with the LRAB which are designed to kill at low speeds.
The 140AB maybe a bit hard at CM speed.

You're lucky to have recovered them... mine always seem to splinter into a hundred pieces. Shot a stag this weekend just gone and while he didn't take a single step, I couldn't find any part of the pill. I know it entered front right and travelled aft to the back left, but I couldn't find any part of it. It made jelly out of the insides though. What a mess.

the 125s go awesome at 7.62x39mm speeds.....

Had what i would call a failure many years back with the 150 gr BT before they beefed the jackets up. Have used various Noslar bullets since and all have worked well. The 180 gr BT in the 300 WM and 30 06 are fine performers on game.

These worked well in my SAUM on red deer, again don't have the flash harry BC but they worked. I had a bad run with the 143ELDx on animals at ranges less than 100 m.
SAUM is now relagated to Gongs only so BC is king and Bullet performance on the target not so important :D

Just loaded some 150s up in my 308 based on what @7mmsaum told me. Will chronograph when I can but only did 3 loads and 2 of them were sub inch. Looking foward to testing on a deer

I have started using the 155 Gn nosler custom in .308 for target shooting. supposed to be good for the "short" ranges out to 800 yds but then lose perfomance to the likes of berger at 1000yds.
Time will tell, our range only goes to 600 so it wil be a great practice round.

In my .260 I tried 125 partitions and also their BT, I just couldnt get them to group. No matter what I tried I couldnt get under 1.75 MOA
Went to the 120 Amax and drove it to high speed ....it kills well

Used the 150 partiton in my .270's and it was always a great killer and good accuracy. Been through 3 .270's they all liked them!

I wouldn't use 7mm 150grn BT on anything big from my experience. Gone old school to 160grn sierra game kings. Heaps cheaper, accurate and consistent kills on big and small deer etc.

I thought that from the beginning.. But since using them I've had no complaints.

IMO , roaring stags 308 150 accubonds, story ends badly for Mr. Stag .

what I find sad/hilarious/contrary about this thinking.....is often same people saying it will use an ELD-X ELD-M AMax in same role

any and all of them will work just fine n dandy when you take time to understand the strengths n weaknesses of projectile design....which pretty much sums up game shooting full stop.

now THIS bit I can really relate to and applaud vigorously :thumbsup:

Not my best effort but a yearling from the other day. The good old Texas heart shot. Entered above the tail. Cleaved the spine snapping it eventually. Once entering the gut area made jelly of everything through the chest cavity. Didn’t even damage the back straps. 140 gn BT

If they don't work out on your CM @Reindeer PM me and I'll take them off your hands :thumbsup:
