I used my first, a 165gr .308, on a head-on shot last Fall at 50 yards. Didn’t pass through, but thankfully was captured in the stomach and nothing was spilled. DRT.
I use that bullet and the BT of the same weight, all blems, interchangeably at the same moderate load level in my .308s. 41-42gr of RL15 shoots very nicely and kills very dead. Think I have enough for my duration, as long as I don’t squander them on paper.
I also have a small pile of the 129gr ABLR 6.5s and some 130gr .270s. Load work on those is still pending. StaBall 6.5 should get those .270s humming right along. I’m so pleased with 6.5 Gold Dots that it’s going to be a while before I get to those I think.
