Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .243 95 gr. NBT

Many here recommended this bullet, so I took their word for it and have been happy with it thus far. I shot two Axis deer last year with it, both shoulder shots, no exit on either, and no bullet recovered.
This year I shot a bedded blackbuck with one ( the bullet on the left) as he lay quartering towards me...through the neck and on into the off shoulder.
The other bullet-of which there is only a shed core- was from an Axis buck I shot, quartering away, behind the right shoulder aiming to break the left shoulder. Bullet traversed well and ended up through the left scapula...core was shed en route....

No complaints. Particularly good it seems for the " I want it to expend all its energy inside the animal" crowd....




FWIW the two Axis last year went 20 yards and 20 feet respectively.
This years Blackbuck went nowhere, and this years Axis went about 75 yards....
