I have shot a lot of animals with the Ballistic Tips, so far very pleased.
I started out with the old, softer BT in 30-06 but I used a 180BT and it's SD helped, nasty sometimes but worked. I use the new 180 now in my 300WM, tougher but expands also, great bullet!
My shorty 308 loves the 168BT...
I think that is likely the case also and it is true about the small gaps in between with all the 6.5's. The same is true of the 7mm family but the 280AI has a good market, but the difference is the 280AI was a popular Wildcat for years before Nosler did their magic. I have a Ruger Number 1...
Yes, again I can do it easily enough but I am trying to avoid Wildcats from this point forward (I have a couple now). I would like to see factory ammo/chamberings.Besides, I believe this would sell just as the 280AI has, very close to PRC speeds in a std. case.

I would like to see Nosler introduce that round, it would be so easy with their 280AI brass. Yes, I know it is easy now as a wildcat and I load my own most of the time but at 65 years old I would like my rifles handed down to be factory chamberings.
I think about this more and more since it...
Of course a better comparison would be using a 115 Berger or 110 ELDX but yes the 1-10 twist limits things a good bit. Right now I use my Lipsey Ruger #1 .257Wea. with a 28" barrel as a point and shoot rifle out to 450 or so (great for that) & if further out I would rather use a 6.5 cal than a...
Thanks for the report & congrats on the results! I think the 123 is not a bad choice at all in the modest CM case. Because of the added vel. the heavies don't pull away until the distance gets quite long.
There is a very experienced shooter/hunter on another site that uses the 123 on targets &...
I have some 100 Gr. TTSX, I need to get some Etips now and compare, penetration, expansion, safe velocity and grouping. I have a Lipsey Number 1 with a 28" barrel & for a Number 1, quite accurate.
I just picked up some 130 RDF bullets to try in the Creed, I am thinking 130's may work well with the small case, at least comparable out to 600 or so.
As far as a Big game bullet, I will have to read of them doing well on MANY head before I try that. I don't think the point is designed for...
My Wife harvested an AR Bull Elk last fall with her 6.5 Creedmoor. Certainly not long range, it was a shoulder to shoulder with an exit with the 140 Partition. I loaded them to 2825 fps with RL26. She also took a decent Whitetail.
Several years ago she harvested an Elk with her 6.5x55, again...
