We're in the same page. I myself have been contemplating on using it on games. I haven't heard nor see any report of an animal taken using this bullet yet. The jacket on the Nosler is a bet thinner when compared to Sierra MK, which led me to believed that, it will expand, and probably hold together, at lower impact velocity. A few months ago, I was practicing with these bullet at long range and I recovered a few from the dirt. At a distance of around 716 yards, there's a complete separation of the jacket from the core. The lead core, although deformed, was still intact though; typical of a swaged type bullet or any bullet for that matter when impacting dirt. The jury still out on this one so I guess further testing on wet newspaper or phone books is in order. Accuracy wise, there's no question the bullet is accurate. Here's the result I've got from my rifle.
Ten shot group @ 100 yards:
Here's the 3 shot group @ 535 yards. My first shot hit the gong towards the farthest left. The last two shots, hit 2 inches apart (one inside the center crater) in the center of the gong after giving it a quarter MOA correction. The 3 crater was made by 155 grain Scenar at 250 yards. I used them as my aiming point at 535 yards.
