150 grain NBT's with the Green tips.
78.5gr RE19 at 3.340" OAL.
Great <1.5" groups at 300yds (zero range for my rifle) Funny that it shot same group size at 100yds.

I have been a fan of the NBT's in the past, but I would NOT use that combo on deer. I would expect and have seen that combo fail. You are pushing them way to fast for under 400 yards. At2950 out of an 06 they work fine. If you switch to a 180 you can push them as fast as the rifle will allow. Again it is knowing thw bullet and what it can handle before the whole barand name gets labled as no good.
I shoot a lot of SMK's and Bergers but I would be willing to get out the old Sendero 300 WIN and put $ on a dozen straight cull deer wuth my NBT load
to the original poster.
i would suggest you reread j.c. customs first post.
the only problem is he cant spell turret. other than that he's right on.
Thanks a lot !!! ha ha
I just had rotator cup surgery on my right shoulder and I had to type with my left
hand so I'm sure that turrent was not the only misspelled word there.
This has been a good post and somehow we got off the real subject but different
opinions are what it's all about.
PS; I shoot about as well lefthanded as I type so I'm hoping to heal fast.

I have used 150 nosler bts in my 7wsm and have yet to have a blow-up or one not expand.
The factors that determine wound channel size and the depth of penetration (aside from bullet integrity) are 1-the amount of direct applied pressure, 2-the amount of hydraulic pressure created, 3-frontal area of the bullet. Bore diameter and bullet weight are constants that do not change after the bullet leaves the barrel
ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED IN INELASTIC COLLISIONS, MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED IN ALL COLLISIONS. A bullet collision is an inelastic collision.
Another way to look at the fallacy of "energy' dump is the following examples. My 338 Lapua shooting a 300 grain SMK at 2791 FPS has 5188 FPE and a 458 win with a 500 grain bullet at 2100 FPS has 4896 FPE yet there is no way that the 338 is a better round for use on Elephant. Example #2 a 55 grain bullet fired from a 22-250 at 3600 FPS has 1583 FPE. A 360 grain 454 bullet at 1400 FPS has 1567 FPE. that is less energy than the 22 caliber bullet yet the 360 grain bullet will break more bone penetrate deeper and leave a larger wound channel on a big game animal such as American Bison
