Too funny, you answered your own question with your sig line


I see what you did there!

Killed this 190+ class buck a couple of year ago with the 150BT running 3200 out of my HCR 7mag. 140 yard shot, entered right hip and was found under hide on the front left shoulder, a full 3 feet of penetration. I had a pic around here somewhere but can't find it. Impressive performance.

Buck was killed in the sandhills of West Texas. Dober is the one who turned me on to the 150BT's.

150 Winchester BT's out of my 7 Mag on whitetails...can only be described as reaching out and touching them with a lightening rod. They don't go far. Never shot em with the NAB's.

I saw a small doe shot w/a 7mag , 150nbt at 75yds , quartering to us.
Somehow it basically bloodshot and blasted more-less all the meat.
Made a small amount of jerky out of it that's all.
While cutting the deer up I was astounded at the damage that combo had done.
This was around year 2001.

I've killed 1 elk, several mule deer and 1 antelope with the 160 Nosler Partition (Federal Premium factory load). The elk was quartering away, bullet went in behind the left shoulder and came out the brisket, the exit hole was the size of a tennis ball, he ran 40 yards and died, blood all over, shot was 175 yards. The others were DRT.

I shot a small whitetail with the 150 BT and a magnum 7. I will not be doing that again.

For years my favorite bullet out of my 7x57 was and still is the 150 gr. Ballistic Tip. Started around 2600fps it works perfectly and always exits. The only time it gave a lot of meat destruction was when it hit bone. This on deer, feral hogs, raccoons, coyotes and one elk.
