That one was killed 11/12 and discussed on P 8. This one was killed on 12/14 I named him Freak ! in October the last time I saw him. If you look at the middle pic, I shot him in the withers and the spine BLEW UP and the bullet angled down into the boiler room with no exit. Well today's pic needs NO explanation. 270 W - 130 gr RCL - IMR 7828 ALL 3 were Bang FLop Or DRT = Dropped Right There I got over blood trailing a long time ago. Especially in the rain like it was today. Rain does BAD things to blood trails. I only have a few days left. So, we'll see. Jerry

Thnx W C H
We have an Annual Bag limit of 6 WT. I hunt in a zone with only 5 as a limit BUT it's not far to another zone where the limit is 6.
2 bucks are the LIMIT Statewide.
I have 6 tags, my wife 6, my Uncle 6 so I have access to MORE than I ever want to process per yr.
I killed 5 in 2012 and 3 or 4 each yr since.

Shortly after they came out I shot an antelope with a 100 gr. .257 bullet from a .257 Roberts. Performance was so poor I never used them again in any caliber to hunt with. The few I have been given were shot at paper targets. Around the same time the solid base bullets were discontinued. Now the only time I use anything from Nosler it is a partition. It was a shame, I used to shoot a lot of Nosler bullets.

I have been hunting for over 5 decades and in all that time I have only taken 2 pictures of bullet wounds. Actually for most of my years, I didn't even own a camera. But here are the 2 I have. That's my fist in the 1st picture. 100 grain Remington .277 bullet from my 6.8SPC at 185 yards. The other is a coyote I killed at 300 with the same little carbine with the same load.

Dogs are a nice luxury to have.... Where U Been 2muchgun? Last posted 12/12/16--Hope UR hunting or vacationing. Yeah THE Tikka T 3 Lite SS 270 W I bought in 2003. Shooting the same load other 270s like. EVEN Tikka Rings ** thot I'd try them- I wasn't impressed 'looking' at them. Well....14 (fourteen) seasons later-- I guess I'm still trying them. (double shock) I have thoroughly tested the T 3 out. It does everything I need and want a rifle to do EXCEPT look pretty. Pretty is as pretty does. Jerry edit: sorry I forgot, the same Tikka bolt shroud.

.270 / 130 TTSX - 150ish yard shoulder shot with zero bullet expansion. No blood trail but a very dead 8pt. I'm going to stick with Noslers.

Jim Same here, exactly. The 100gr BT out of the Roberts shot so well I couldn't imagine it would be the bomb it was. I just got a bunch of the 180gr .308" because of all the positive feedback on here. Have yet to start using them yet.

Here's the Link to my thread. I tried out the 100gr Aussie Copper Projectiles in my .257 Roberts. Shot was only about 45yds, quartering too. There was a lot of internal damage, one exit, several spots that were bloodshot under the skin. I suspect the front of the bullet fragmented. This was the second deer with this combo, the first being a doe. She was hit in the spine in the withers blowing a hole out the top. no bullet recovered, lots of bone fragments. I usually don't take photo's of holes but I maybe should start as it lends credence to opinions. First photo is how he fell. The entry hole is on the front of the shoulder facing up. No blood. This is the entry. Exit wound in front of off side hind leg.(leg removed)

100gr. ACP Sidewinder at Grafs. Assie Copper page. Link in thread above goes to original mention of them, and a link to the page when they were introduced/offered for testing.

Still I will take that over the thin shelled variety of deer bullets. I still haven't seen a thing that would make me abandon a Partition.

My nephew shot this 123lb doe at 170 yards. His rig of choice is a ruger American compact in 223. Shooting a 223 with the cheap hornady 55gr sp. Around home a 223 won't kill a deer, so call it stunt shooting but he is super accurate with it as he has shot several hundred rounds through it. Here's the results!!!!
