Good Luck..............I bet they will do a great job!!

I did hit high.......and some bone........but I don't think that is too bad for an exit. I would guess at longer ranges there would be less damage etc.

If you look at the 200 yard target in this thread.............there is a dime in the picture for reference.

My measurements are not off..........squares are 1/2"........but thanks.

I've gotten bigger.......but not a bad Goat......not a lot of mass though!! This definitely did not test the abilities of the rifle/load though.........getting ready to shoot at 200 yards and he starts walking towards me......ended up about 140 yards LOL. DRT though.........which is always good.

Chronograph average velocity is 2,939

I'll be hunting Antelope with it in New Mexico in just under 4 weeks. I'm sure if I do my part this load should hit'em pretty hard.

26" Hart barrel. Chronograph average velocity is 2,939

Same load @ 200 yards yesterday.

So far.........65.0 grains of IMR7828 with the Nosler Ballistic Tip 170 grain. 300 yards....1-3/16" three shot group.

I would shoot whichever is more accurate......which is typically the BT. I took an Antelope at 140 yards with a 95gr. BT and it worked very well......complete pass through on a broadside shot.......good expansion/exit.

I believe these 170 grainers were designed specifically for the new 6.8 Western.......I assume with a faster twist. I just had a 270 Weatherby built with a 1-8" and I'm hoping these bullets are tack drivers in it, but have not reloaded for it yet.

I have a 1-8" twist 270 Weatherby and I'm planning to load up a bunch of 170 grain Ballistic Tip bullets to test out. Any reloading data/info or other thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
