Few things as soothing as "likelihood".

Give or take..................(hint)

Lots of mils from 200-300 when lobbing - as my 357 Marlin or 30/30 Handgun showed. Most any will kill further than we can always drill....vitals

Not sure if you understood my post or not� I surely was not saying I have ever killed any of (as you stated) "planets best" deer with the nosler or any other for that matter... Nor was I saying that a 6ppc with a 70gr nosler would be my rifle pick of the litter knowing the next world record was on the other side of that bush� What I was saying, if he was standing there broadside and that�s what I had in my hands, I wouldn�t hesitate, nor would I feel under gunned. Instead of thinking "wonder if this bullet is enought", I would be thinking "damn, I just killed the biggest deer ever".

That explained� my primary deer rifle is not a 6mm caliber, so those few �big� deer that I have found while fumbling around in the woods (again still not the "planests best"), haven�t been killed with the 70gr Nosler, so no pictures of them here wink.

However, here in NC we have a liberal deer season/limit. Pretty much �unlimited� doe tags are pretty nice around or after our 2-4 buck limit (depending on Zone). Since I like to shoot, I take advantage of that fact & our target rich environment. I kill a good many deer every year with several different rifles/combinations/distances. The 70gr Nosler out of 6x45,6br,& 243 is one of the favorites.

As far as details� Most deer I have shot with the bullet have been lung shots. They typically spin off & are found 20-40 yards away (of course a few are shorter & further, but talking about inside the bell curve). You can use your imagination for results on head & neck shots. Even on shoulder (most quartering toward), still no problem getting enough penetration to turn innards to soup. The few center shoulder shots have resulted same as head/neck production.

I started shooting this bullet because of a friend. He has used it nearly exclusive for years & killed a large number (more than many guys will kill in a lifetime)of deer with it out of a 6BR shooting them anywhere from the tail to nose with very good results.

While definitely not the biggest on the planet, but I have killed a few with the 70gr that were worth taking a picture of while out with some of my �play� rifles� Just remember, for every deer worth taking a picture of; there a many others that were killed were be it does, dinks, or stuff some might even be embarrassed to be seen with. To sum it up� I have an amble sample of victims to be very confident in the bullets ability. It just works.

The few "70'd" deer worth pictures. Hope they make you happy smile

I hunt/hunted pretty much all over from the peidmont to the coast. But mostly in the dead center of the state. A reasonable drive from home, Im in the woods 98% of the days during mzldr&gun season (late Oct-Jan1).


BS was REAL close.

I did get a chuckle from that grin Only one of those deer would have ever made much & he showed up on a day I was looking to shoot; a year or two early.
