[QUOTE="1dirthawker, post: 798218, member: 25199"] My experience with nosler bullets is similar in the calibers SMALLER than 338. The 375 noslers are Awsome. Probably because you can't over drive them, but maybe they are built heavier. Smaller calibers wash the front off the bullet every time unless a far shot. That leaves the shooter with less than 50% bullet weight to penetrate. Even really good bullets can be overdriven. Saw 2 diff 8.5 ft bear shot with300 ultra mags. Swift 200 gr. Bullets retained the wt but riveted out so far that they did not penetrate well. Bear needed some bullets from a larger/slower caliber to stop the bear in both cases in the ultra mags one needs a very tought bullet regardless of caliber. My 2 cents [/QUOTE]
