Welcome yotunaman & Gonzo2112. For the .243's I personally love Nosler Partitions. Have had excellent luck with them and my wife downed a 350BC Caribou with her .243. I was looking into the 120 BT Hunting as possible rounds out of my 7STW but I just dont believe anything 120grn traveling +3600fps will hold up short of a Barnes X... and my gun doesnt shoot those worth a crap LOL. At the moment for my big fall hunt I will be using Factory Remington Safari grade ammo that uses the 140grn Swift AFrame bullet due to its sub half inch grouping at 100 yards. Extremely accurate ammo in my rifle. -DallanC |

Howdy. I have used the 150gr balistic tip in my 308 with different results don't get me wrong i have never needed two shots with it. It has performed flawlesly on lung shots but if ya hit the shoulder blade it blows up ( see attached photo of the entrance wound) i have had this happen 3 times on shoulder shots with no exit. The deer don't always give ya that perfect shot. They are a accurate bullet and maybe they have thickined the jacket some i'm not sure i haven't used them on game for about 5 years. Shot with a rem 788 in 308 with a 150gr b-t at aprox 80 yds quartering slightly torwards me |

Actually they have changed them, I believe these now for sale are the 5th generation...fwiw The "thicker jackets" are on the 7mm 120 grains(thicker than on the 140's since they're used so often in metal sillouette shooting) they made them tougher for the distant "rams" and they have an excellent reputation on game now! Just thought I'd share that information with all... |
