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.

I would love to see a .257 option in the Nosler Solid base, at least 100 grains in weight if not a 110.

Scotty must be feeling bad, probably just got his flu shot, having a bad reaction and a fever making him delirious.But what's the fun in that???

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

Nice, I was waiting for someone to put one of these in the jugs. Is this different from the original solid base?

Seems like they have a heavier jacket than the original.

120 gr interlock type bullet. Since H discontinued that sku there is a market.
It was a damn fine game getter.

The 308 Win loaded up with the 165 gr Solid Base clobbered this doe. She went 30 yards and piled up. The lungs were destroyed and there were a couple of pieces loose in the thoracic cavity. Significant trauma but not as much as the Ballistic Tip. So far I like what I see.

Nice to see on game results! I'm assuming a pretty good blood trail, though the snow definitely helps?

It never ceases to amaze me how hearty these game animals are. Great job, Jim. That's getting the job done.

Excellent blood trail...
First picture shows the spray beyond where the doe was standing at impact.

Nice exit hole. Penetration not an issue for sure.

Excellent. Description of the on-game results seem very much like the Solid Base bullets from years ago. Thanks for the description, and congrats!

Congratulations Jim on the doe and thanks for sharing the results of this bullet. Nothing like live deer for test media.
