I've killed some deer with Bronze Point 130s out of a .270, they were "decisively" killed, at that. Lightning bolts killed slower than those Bronze Points. I tried them after having some unhappy experiences with early Ballistic Tips and Gamekings.

I also killed a couple deer with 180gr. Bronze Points out of a .30/06, they killed quickly, too.
I've had nothing but good results from them, I was sorely disappointed when Remington quit selling them as component bullets.

I went to the ProHunter Sierras after that, with excellent results, but I really liked the Bronze Points, as the bullet noses didn't deform in the magazine of my Ruger 77s like typical softpoints did, and again, I wasn't happy with Ballistic Tips, so they were a decent alternative.

A local gunsmith hated them, but he thinks that deer require a .338, too. I didn't take much stock in his opinions.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
