Anyone try the 6.5mm 140 gr Ballistic Tip on game yet?

[gerry]

Have you shot anything yet with them? On my deer hunt this fall I ended up using the 129 gr ABLR in my 260 Rem instead but was going to use the 140 gr BT originally. They seem like they would be an excellent compromise between close range toughness and the ability to expand well at long range, not too bad on the pocket book either. I need to try them on next year's deer hunt along with the 140 gr Speer Deep Curl......

Hi Gerry

I have not used them. The 130 gr AB shot so well, I never tried the 140 gr BT.
They Would indeed be an excellent deer bullet
both near and far.

Gerry, they are loaded up in the 264 should I get a chance to hunt with them.. I believe they will be thunderous out of my 264 if I get a chance to hunt with it.

I just wish I could get my hands on some to try in my 264....

Howard, I think I have 50 I could spare. Would that help?

 

[gerry]

I guess they have only been out for a couple of years, some pretty good reviews at Midway.

An address is the first step! No worries, don't need anything from you Howard. Just lots of pictures of the results.. Your likely to tag something with them before me. :lol:

Good going Scotty. Howard I hope you can nail something with them still this year

 

[HTDUCK]

Scotty you've got a PM.

Gerry, that may be a tough row to hoe.
Season in Mo is all but over.

The only hope of shooting an animal with them will be Creedmore's place in Del Rio where the season runs into January.
Of course what I'd ideally like to test them on is another Auodad.
They are a bit thicker and tougher than a Val Verde county whitetail.

It'll be sweet if you could smoke an Auodad or deer. I bet they are lightning killers.
