7mm 160 gr. BT

[JD338]

Shot from a 280 AI and recovered both bullets at 100 yards in the 5th water jug.
MV 3000 fps
#1 weighs 102.9 grs and .659" diameter.
#2 weighs 101.1 grs and .650" diameter.
I'm going to hunt WT deer with this bullet this fall. Should be a good one.

Looks as if it is a fine bullet for that job, Jim. Classic performance in the jugs.

I haven't kept up with things much the past couple years...I didn't know they were making the BT in 160 grains...I like it.

That should work just fine.

Jim, have you had a chance to take a buck with them yet?

Well I tested the 7mm 160 gr BT on a big doe and was impressed with the results. The 280AI is pushing the bullet at 3000 fps. The shot was about 60 yards and she dropped in her tracks at the shot. The lungs were jelled and all but the bottom portion of the heart was gone. The bullet exited through the off side shoulder leaving an exit hole about the size of a nickel.
I will try again next summer on crop damage deer but I'm sure the terminal performance will be the same.

Looks as if it worked to perfection, Jim. She'll make some fine dining for you.

Nice work Jim! Should be an excellent all around bullet from the looks of it.

Looking at that again, I’d definitely run one into a bull without much question.

For sure Scotty. Those bullets retained their cores and went into 5 jugs. That's good penetration for elk sized game.

What's not to like Jim a 280AI and a Nosler bullet smoking along at 3000 fps. Now isn't that Nosler bullet quite something? Same can be said for the the super fine 280AI. Sure love that cartridge in my Winchester Model 70 I had built.

That’s getting it done.
I did destroy an AccuBond at 50yds on a doe. It was an 180 gr .308” also on the North side of 3500fps.
