Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game More on the 64 grain Nosler Bonded

There was a post on here a while ago asking for experiences with the 64 grain Nosler Bonded projectile. I've just come back from a trip where I shot two deer (a Fallow and a Red) with this bullet out of a .223

The fallow was a high shoulder shot with the bullet exiting, and the red was a lower chest shot, once again with the bullet exiting.

Here are a couple of pictures of the Red.

Entrance...



and exit...



I've shot my last four animals (two Fallow, a Red and a Thar) with this bullet and have had exits on all of them. While that's a small sample size, I have a lot of experience with the .223 using the old 55 gn Nosler Solid Base, the 63 gn Sierra, 64 gn Sierra Game King and 70 gn Speer on deer. The 64 grain bonded has impressed me and I'll keep on using it.
