[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1763627, member: 72601"] Theres not much out there on this bullet other than Nathan Foster documenting som results on it. Going off what he has experienced I decided to try it for my self. I'm shooting them out of my Remington 700 long range 7mm Rem mag. Using rl-26 I'm launching them at 2959 fps. I shot a decent NH 9 point Saturday evening. The shot was about 50-75 yards. He ran approximately 75 yards before expiring. I didnt make the best shot on him because it was getting dark and I needed to turn my illumination on but he was looking right at me so the less movement I did the better. Anyway, I got him skinned out and so for from what I'm seeing it did its job very well. Here's a pic of the entry. 7mm sized hole. He was quartering to me slightly. Hit the point of the shoulder busting it all to heck. [ATTACH=full]159738[/ATTACH]This is the inside of the ribcage. The right side being entry. It's hard to tell but it's about the size of a golf ball. Exit side about a half dollar[ATTACH=full]159740[/ATTACH]Then we have the exit out the opposite leg. It's about the size of my thumb. Seems the bullet held together quite nicely after going through the shoulder.[ATTACH=full]159741[/ATTACH]Because of where I hit him, the vitals were not hit square. It liquified the lower lobe of his left lung and hit the top of the heart. I'll know more when I actually butcher him on what the bullet did when it hit the shoulder.
