[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1163488, member: 59915"] Well the 95 VLD has a superior BC over the other two which is desirable. I cannot speak for the hunting part of them because my barrel is 1:10 and I could not get them to stabilize properly. But it sounds like you got that part licked. I have not tried the partitions at all. The Nosler BT however I use exclusively in my 243. It shoots very well out to 500 yards for hunting and beyond that for targets. My load reaches 1700 fps at around 600 or so yards so I have set that as my hunting limit. It's pretty easy to hit steel out to 800 with wind cooperating. It is flat out devastating on deer sized game. At 500 yards I get 2" - 3" groups. With all ballistic tips in all calibers I always aim for a double lung shot. BTs can tend to be somewhat explosive at close range but I still almost always get a pass through. I tend to believe a good double lung shot helps the deer bleed out better which helps take some of the gamey taste out of the meat. Here is a couple pics of a deer I killed with them. One with the gun so you can see the size of the deer. The other of the exit hole [/QUOTE]
