[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 992280, member: 59915"] No, I have not tried this 6.5mm 140 nosler BT on deer yet, but I have no doubts that they will perform flawlessly. I have used many many NBT in many calibers and weighs and they have always performed perfectly. The ONLY reason I am trying to get another bullet to shoot is to extend my range. The lower BC of the NBT and lower max velocity I get put my max range for "reliable" expansion at 700 yards. This is following noslers minimum 1800 fps. The Berger requires 1800 fps also but with a velocity closer to 3000 and the higher BC raises my max range to around 1050 yards. This is the ONLY reason for my quest for a better long range bullet. If I could get my hands on the nosler long range accubond, it will expand at 1300 fps which would be great and if I could get this gun to shoot them. The berger VLDs are apparently just to sensitive for my loading taste. With the NBT I can just throw brass through my FL die, trim, de-burr, clean, and reload and gun) one chewed up hole at 100. No weight sorting, neck turning, checking/aligning concentricity. If the Berger Hybrid or Nosler LRAB would do that and extend my range to 1000 then I will change bullets. I may end up just using this gun with the NBT for a > 700 yard gun and get another gun for 700+ yard work. Thanks everyone for helpful replies. [/QUOTE]
