There is something I don't understand here. I once shot an Axis buck with a hand loaded 180BT in 300 Wby. IT was cruising somewhere around 3200 fps from the muzzle. Impact was 185 yards away. THe bullet disintegrated on impact, opened a 4-6" hole in the onside rib cage and knocked the wind out of him. The second shot in the spine put him down as he was trying to get up on his feet. Upon gutting, the only penetration I found was the green tip imbedded in an offside rib.
I called Nosler when I got home and Mr. Nosler told me the BT's were never designed for impact speeds over 3100 or they will do exactly what happened to me.
Yet, you guys talk about driving this bullet over 3250-3300 fps. Do you think there may be an exception here given the heavier construction of this particular bullet in comparison to other BT's ??
