Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Nosler 60 NBTs on game..

I asked earlier for any input on using this as a game bullet and got none, so of course I had to go try it.....
Only got a " sample of two" but Im inclined not to use it on game any more unless you can be VERY picky about your choice of shots, or limit your shooting to little Texas deer or pronghorn antelope sized critters.

Shot a nice Mouflon Ram ( about a 100 pound animal..) Broadside, twice. Neither bullet exited, but they killed him dead in short order. I would have thought I'd get an exit on something that small....
Also shot a blackbuck doe for meat ( maybe 80 pound critter..) Quartering on, through the hydraulics, again no exit. Put her down immediately though...

And there is always the SURE BET..Barnes 55 gr. TTSX
