My range finder tells me it's about 90 to 115 yards from my tree stand to where each one were standing. Shot them last year. One the first week of season, second about mid season and third, the buck, last day, last hour. I know from my chronograph that 47 grains of H4350 is consistently producing just a tad over 3000fps about 15ft from the muzzle. THat's what I was shooting.
I have seen those under the hide captures but there has a been a notable hole through the off side ribs. Didn't happen with these. Found the bottom of a cup (bullet) when gutting the second one. Didn't keep it.
My son shoots 140's through a .284 Winchester - Dramatic results! Vastly different from what I got.
I'd really like to be wrong about my misgivings with these bullets. The 6.5X55 really likes them.
Rug3, swap the 120 BT for the 125 Partition. Good chance it'll shoot the same and you're not likely to capture as many. I like the 120 BT in the Swede but I've yet to capture one either.
I can shoot either one interchangeably without changing any part of my load or touching my seating adjustments.
