[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1540695, member: 79106"] I use the NAB almost exclusively in my hunting rifles as well as others I help load for. As you have I've also thought their advertised BC may be slightly high but I have not done any distance/drop verification either at this point. The consistent terminal performance we're getting coupled with impressive accuracy is what keeps us coming back. The 200 grain version in two different 300 Win mags has hunted in 3 different countries in the last 5 years and taken a grand slam in Spanish Ibex (4 with 4 shots), a Marco polo sheep at 670 yards (the only bullet recovered but Jeff lost it on the trip home) as well as an Ibex and a Afghan Urial in Azerbaijan, and a Tur in Tajikistan. There has been a couple 2nd insurance shots fired but most were dead on the spot including the Tur which are notoriously hard to kill. They have also been used on numerous deer and feral hogs with the same consistent results. Complete pass through with very little blood shot meat and dead in their tracks is the norm. It is the first bullet I try when working up a load in hunting rifles and I have even loaded it in my long range rifles but they are not heavy enough or have sufficient BC to hold up with some of the better offerings, although do very nicely out to 750 yards. I load it in two 6.5's, three 30's and three 7's I also used to like the Hornady Interbonds but they only go to 180 grains in 30 caliber and are so consistently unavailable that I have given up on them completely. Just my 2 cents, your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
