Extremely almost scary accurate, reliable quick kills, good expansion & pass thru's on soft tissue but won't penetrate both shoulder joint sockets.
Very similar results. A couple examples:
- Killed a thick hog with one at 100yds but we never could find entrance or exit. Damnest thing.
- The very first hog I shot using them showed a small fragment exit inches away from "the" exit. Shot was 60 yds or so.
- 130 pound buck at 70 yards exited nicely on a hard quartering shot where the bullet traveled through quite a long stretch of deer.
- Almost forgot, I used it to shoot a walking hog at 400 yds. Went right through ears- you know - just like I called it !
Really kind of hard to complain about them.
I can recommend them but might add keep loads mild. YMMV. I am fairly new to these and they may not yet have quite earned my absolute confidence that the 140 SGK give me. Those never fail to exit, seem to consistently drop things where they... stood. The boat tails may have a little advantage in holding together. -and of course they are heavier. The 140 SGK don't shoot quite the tight clover leafs that the 120 flat base PH's do in my 260.
I any case I have switched to Sierra for everything.
Hope this ramble is of some use.
