I'd say that was odd too! I am gonna try to introduce a whitetail doe to the 64 grainer�.to further my research�.

I once saw with my own eyes a doe hit in the heart with a 308 at just over 300yds that had her eyes popped out on one end and her intestines coming out her anus on the other. I thought that was odd. Geez, talk about a mercy killing.......I'd want to be shot too if I looked like that

You know cameras are much smaller now,than when you had them in the 1860's. First off: GFY Secondly, just for you guys, I went to my office, picked up my camera, and took this pic of the 64 gr Nosler Bullet in question. ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/IMG_1083_zpsb7aa522c.jpg) Man, that bullet looks great. Great frontal area for a .224 bullet too.. Sounds like it works pretty danged well..

Yep. Took two�but the bullet was not at fault, poor shooting was  First one hit too far back.My fault. Second landed high shoulder. Innards were blown up so we made a quick decision to filet her out Alaskan style, and boned her out with dressing .200 yds.

What kind of "damage" are you getting?
More than if you shot with a 243 softpoint?

I don't know how I missed this thread but I did. Anyway, I posted reviews of the 64 Gr Nosler on these other two threads. I really like this bullet. 64 gr Nosler Test Fire 22-250 Deer
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

I'm thinking it would be a super bullet for pigs LBP�.

Tom, I'm sure it would. That bullet really seems to hit critters hard. I've only taken four critters so far but none have made it more than a few yards and were dead on their feet. I wonder if it has to do with the wide melpat?

Wide meplat is what I'm thinking does the trick.

I tested the 64 gr Nosler again tonight, this time on a 115 lbs whitetail doe. I shot her with my 22-250 NULA with a muzzle velocity of 3400 fps at about 40 yards. I hit her a little far back but still took out the lungs. The doe had an entrance wound that was .22 caliber in size and an exit wound about the size of a quarter. The doe ran about 25 yards leaving a moderate blood trail and fell. So far this year 5 critters have fell to 5 of these Nosler's from both my .223 and 22-250 at ranges from 35 yards to 251 yards. I really like this bullet. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff431/pronghornboy/DSC02910_zpsc333cff5.jpg)

Deadly little combo. The 15 or so deer I have shot with the 60 grain Partition had about the same internal damage as I get with a little stouter built .243 bullet but the distance ran after the shot was less. I did have 1 doe run maybe 100 yards due to hitting her far back, barely caught liver and did bust the diaphragm.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
