Speer impacts.

Any field experience with the Speer impact? Looking at going to the 190 for my 300 wby.

I use them with my 300wm, they are very accurate. Unfortunately I haven't used it to hunt as of yet. But from what I've read they should be very good.

Used the 140's on a B tag mule deer and a buck Antelope and both were pass throughs at 400+ yds with a 6.5 CM.

Good terminal performance? Seem like good expansion?

Excellent on both, exits were the size of a 50 cent piece. I'm gonna try the 190s this year in a 300 WSM.

They give great expansion but still remain intact for good peneration. It's like getting the terminal performance of a accubond but at a 3rd of the price.

What grain bullet and velocity are you running? I couldn't find an accurate node with the 180 grain.

Nice, will have to put these on my list.

I shot a deer buck at 200 yds running in a 30 nosler at 200 yds it destroyed it

A fan of Speer. A video review shows performance in ballistic gel at various ranges. Looks good 100 to 500 yards. Needs assessment at 10 to 75 yards, may be too soft at high velocity/close range to rely on for things that might eat you. Speer advertises them as a long range high BC bullet; the performance revealed in that gel tests confirms a good bullet for the purpose. May want to avoid bone at longer range.

Aren't these just the gold dot/fusion bullets with a poly tip? If so- they are great bullets for hunting

Darn, I misread the title, I thought that we were starting a new forum group…..Spear Hunting! memtb

Speer Impact 30cal 190gr Product Overview

Take your hunts, your handloads and your shots farther. The Speer® Impact bullet blends tough, molecularly bonded construction with a high ballistic coefficient. Its groundbreaking Slipstream™ polymer tip provides a perfect aerodynamic meplat, and its hollow core initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs. The combination results in deep penetration at mid-range, as well as extreme accuracy and consistent low-velocity expansion at long distances. *(says close-range penetration)*

• Molecularly fused jacket maximizes weight retention and improves accuracy
• Slipstream polymer tip increases downrange energy and initiates low-velocity expansion
• High ballistic coefficients for flatter trajectories and better long-range performance
• Close-range penetration and long-distance expansion
