[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 158, member: 46"] Dave, yes, congrats on the shot, my hopes are to understand mil's and MOA enough to make those shots next season. My cousin, (a sniper/competition shooter for the MT national guard)is gonna teach me this summer. I'm using the 165gr. Nosler ballistic tips in my .300WM Sendero, because of the velocity I get out of them(3300fps, and flat trajec)...my primary use for this gun will be 400-500yd shots on antelope, as my shots at deer/elk are rarely over 300yds, and I will be using my 444SS for elk in thick timber, and possibly my 30'06 for deer, if not the .300WM. However, you got me interested in using the 180gr NBTs because of the performance on your elk. I will hopefully get 3100fps (w/ my .300WM) out of them if I load 'em fairly hot. A few years ago, I too, would've given you a distasteful look if I heard about using NBTs on elk, but not anymore, I'm a firm believer in ballistic tip bullets now. What velocity are you getting w/ your 30-338 (308 Norma, right)? Again, congrats on the shot, and I too will be interested in the retained weight of your NBT. [/QUOTE]
