Beats doxycycline I’m on because I got limes disease for the second time the other day.

I just like thanks for the heads up. Looks like they’re pretty proud of the blems. Natchez shooters I see have my 180 grain .308 BTs for $23.99. I have too much of that stuff laying around already that I’ll never shoot up. Maybe I’ll have to horse trade for some of the stuff I’ve got laying around.

Took about three months to get a check back from them last time when I had some defective 22 WMR ammo. That was probably 5 to 6 years ago.

Must be nice. I’m going on close to three months now since I sent back a box of a 10000 defective 22 ammo and still waiting for a refund check.

I’d like to see a side-by-side test next to the partition, occupant and ballistic tip of the same velocity and weights. That bullet sure looks stout like a partition without the partition in the back! It looks tougher than most of Noslers other offerings but also sheds lead from the tip while...

Tough bullet! Looks like a penatrator to me.

I borrowed my 30-06 to a buddy at a game farm about 25 years ago and he shot a huge Russian boar. No idea on the weight but it was huge. I would say it was way over a couple hundred pounds. He 180 grain Accubond I had loaded up. That pig literally lifted off the ground and slammed to the...

Used the .308 180’s in my 30-06 at 2650 fps load data. Don’t know what the time if that was for a 24 or 26 inch barrel but I was shooting it out of a 22 inch. I also did a max load in my 375 rum with the 260 grain versions. I still have some of the 260’s left. I assume I have some of the 180s as...

Curious of where your shot placement is, high shoulder I’m guessing? All mine ran a football field length with heart and lung broadside shots. A high shoulder hit and they dropped but normally need to be finished off.

Did it get caught in one of the rear quarter leg bones?

I’m curious to what what your shot placement was, how far the shot was, the muzzle velocity, and why it stopped inside the animal? I’ve never caught any .308 diameter bullets in deer throughout the decades accept for a a couple of completely disintegrated Sierra 150 grain boat tails that...

I would guess if I switched from 180 grain to 130 grain in .308 there would be a much more different outcome. I would assume I’d get some quick expansion and energy dump with a lot lighter projectile pushed much faster. Just not willing to take that chance after the poor experiences I’ve had...

That’s why I don’t like accubonds. They don’t open up and dump enough energy for a DRT unless you brake shoulders. Fifty yards is too far for me. I’ve shot hundreds of deer with a plain old 180 grain core loct and 99.9% drop on their tracks. Had a few travel 15 to 20 yards at the most. Shot...

I always abbreviate as NBT’s…. good to know when I’m searching here on other posts

BT....ballistic tip....not boat tail im assume

The 180 Sierras that I have I have about 1250 of the round nose pro hunters. I think I have a few boxes of the 150s as well. They came from an estate sale. I think I have some 150 pointed and 165 pointed to with the boat tails. Sierra basically told me to stay away from the boat tail versions...

I thought Nosler only went through two different design changes with the ballistic tip? I know they’ve changed the pictures on the boxes, but the actual design just went from the original thin jacket to the current one, which is thicker going towards the base with a nice thick base now. If...

To me it just all depends on the particular bullet brand and the bullet construction. I know when I was a kid my dad used to buy boxes of Remington core locks for my 30-06 and it was whatever was on the shelf at the time. Whether it be 150, 165, or 180 grain ammo they all downed deer in their...

My average rifle shot in the Deer woods is normally within archery range so I like the 180s to make sure they hold together and get an exit every time. I guess if I lived out west and I could shoot a country mile or two I’d want something flatter. A 150 yards is a super long shot for me...

The current style .308 180 grain ballictic tip will put deer down so fast out of my 30-06 i think i missed them a few times
