Sierra 165 gr. HPBT

[Loggerhead]

Has anyone on here used these in a .300 Win. Mag for short and long range deer hunting. How do they perform @ 3100fps?

Thanks

Yes, they are wicked. I can't recommend them for meat hunting. From my 30-06 at 2678 fps, they will for all intensive purposes gut a coyote. IMO, they do more damage than a NBT, but stay together better.

They are not all that impressive at long range ballistically.

Yea, I started to use that bullet for Deer one year, but I
looked up the BC & it was quite low.

Why would it be so low as compared to a Barnes TSX?

The meplat on those bullets is far from aerodynamic. The boattail is also rather short. Its a short, fat bullet with an ackward meplat.
