My son shot a big mule deer buck a few years ago at just over 400 yds with the 155s in a 308. Two good hits. One through the rib cage, quarter sized exit. Hit a rib. Second exited through the lower shoulder. Exit about the same size. Not sure the velocity at that point. We have killed allot of critters with this bullet, elk, deer, wolves , coyotes. They are definitely thicker jacketed than the Berger, but they kill really well. I shot a wolf at 300 yds through the rib cage. That left an exit about the size of a 50 cent piece. That seems to e the norm. I haven't shot critters with it at 500 or 600 yds , but I know Pat has, maybe he will chime in. He shoots alot of them.
Only about 12 or so critters last 2 years but always the exact same outcome. Whitetail, mule deer and 1 big hog. 6.5 creed 139 Scenar at 2870fps. All 1.5-2” clean exits. By clean I mean u could almost drop a golf ball into the hole. I have FULL confidence in this bullet. So much I’m now developing a load for the 180’s in the 7mag at 2950fps. I’m hoping it performs the same!
