115g. Balistic Tip

Mule deer at 260 yds for a pass-through & instant drop. Lungs, a little far back.

Pronghorn at 160 yds passed through with an instant kill.

Coyote at 420 yds passed through and instant drop. He did twirl his tail a time or two.

Am very satisfied with the on-game performance.

I dunno, Guy, sounds like bullet failure on that coyote. Tail twirling is indicative of a serious problem.
 
Already posted this in the reloading forum a while back, but thought I'd post it here for reference.

Below are a few pics of a 115 BST recovered from a little 8 pointer I shot with my 257 Wby. Distance was 165 yards, deer was DRT. Starting velocity was 3450. The bullet entered the right shoulder and was found lodged underneath the skin on the left side, at the base of the neck(see pic). Recovered weight was 58.5 grains.

I'm still happy with the 115 Ballistic Tips and the .25-06 for deer sized game.

Beautiful testimony to the effectiveness of the bullet. Fine animals, Guy.
 
Nicely done Guy. The 115 gr BT is a great bullet for the quarter bores.
