I run them over 4250fps with long barreled 243. I also shot a few Pronghorn with 125 grain ballistic tips at a 4000 fps muzzle velocity out of my 300 RUM. Run them as fast as you want.

I shot two deer with a 35 Whelen the last week. Both ran like they weren’t even hit! First one blew out the heart and it ran 15 yards and tipped over and the other one I double lunged it and took the whole top of the heart off and it went 60 to 75 yards like it wasn’t hit and fell over. New gun...

Is there a link to click on to see that study? I tried to find it on the Internet without any luck.

Tried the .308,180 grain version in my 30-06 and 260 grain version in my 375 RUM when they first came to market. I posted many times here on them with not having good luck. The first year I used them on was a buck that came limping onto my property with a broken leg that someone shot on opening...

I have a brand new box I'll have to ladder test them. It's almost like those hot cores are exploding as soon as they hit deer. You would think they would drop them a little faster than what I've seen in the last week. I do have a box of the 200 grain Hornady projectiles that they use in the...

Last day of rifle season here. That is until muzzleloader season starts tomorrow. Then antlerless season after that so I guess it’s not done. Oh, and I forgot the holiday hunt which you can shoot anterless only as well. So anyways, it was like below zero this morning with windchill so I slept...

The biggest issue is your paying normally 100% or quadruple that from something that was imported in just rebranded to a US company that is basically the same product. You can look at the rage hypodermic’s broad heads on eBay in Amazon that are from China you can basically get them for under a...

That must be where all Norma’s bullets are at…lol. I ended up sending some in that I bought a box of to load up in 250 grain .358”. I barely was hitting paper with groups at 50 yards with them and they were tumbling. The biggest ones measured .3565”. Normal was nice enough to have me send them...

Well, I remember there were early reports of the first years of production. Accubonds not opening up. I did a quick Google and photos and found this. https://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/threads/bad-bullet-no-expansion.133011/ There were a few other ones, but I guess I’m not alone. I would...

For some reason, they all penciled through my deer with very little damage when I inspected one field dressing and cutting up my deer. Sounds like they must have changed the alloy inside to a lot softer lead, which is good to hear. I’m guessing I had a couple boxes of defective bullets with...

Sounds like maybe a defective super soft alloy then with maybe some voids (air pockets) in it. Hard to say what happened I guess. I could Guess all day long. I think, even if the bullet hit the ground and bounced up and hit the deer, it still wouldn’t explode and go left off the shoulder and...

Think that’s what I tried with mine and they literally were shooting an inch group at 25 yards when I did a random load for bear hunting. Might have to try it again someday with what I have left just don’t wanna blow through those projectiles since they are a couple bucks apiece being I can just...

That’s just weird to me then to me because I don’t know how it would have hit a front shoulder and then the bullet defected at a 90° angle and hit it in the rear quarter.

I believe you I just think they probably just use too hard of an alloy when they first produce those bullets. I Cast lead bullets. I’ve used them with too hard of an alloy and they don’t expand and almost pure soft lead, and they open up like a varmint bullet at the same velocities. I just...

What’s a straight in shot? I’m guessing not a broadside shot but a deer facing directly towards you? So your shooting it in the neck, chest, or shoulder depending where the bullet strikes? Never took a “straight on” shot on deer in all the decades I hunted. I aways wait for a quartering away or...

It doesn’t perform anything like a partition. I’ve used both. The accubonds don’t open up and blow their noses off dumping energy and act more like full metal jackets unless you hit hard bone. The partition is not bonded in the front in the lead smears right off, causing a bigger wider wound...

I want a partition with a ballistic tip shoved in the front of it. IMO that would make everybody happy. The best of both worlds. The perception of being at massively aerodynamic, and still blowing the front end off immediately and holding up a lot of weight retention. Don’t wake bonded bullets...

I have shot countless coyotes and bobcat and everything else with 6 mm diameter projectiles but I only shot one deer and posted about it here with a 90 grain ballistic tip. I don’t know if I would need anything else on a Whitetail in my area. It did one heckuva job. I’ve shot enough predators...

Not me. I remember the first two deer I shot with them and they stood there like they weren’t even hit with broadside heart and lung shots. I thought I missed the first buck I shot at. It came wobbling in on three legs that the neighbors wounded stood a little under a 100 yards away. Shot it...

Yep, that’s what I’m saying. Every year I hear a lot of hate for projectiles on the Internet because someone used a plastic tipped high BC target bullet on a deer and then claimed the bullet failed. It was the hunter who failed to pick the correct projectile and then complained it’s the...
