Badlands Bulldozer Bullet in 6.5/264?

[codyadams]

got a good load worked up for my .338 using the 270 BLSBD, they are very good shooting bullets. Have about 1.5" of verticle at 623 yards over a .8 grain range. Should make for a fantastic long range set up, will see how they do on everything from pronghorn to elk this fall!!

A lot has happened since I contributed anything to this thread, I started a different one for all the Badlands bullets. There is a ton of info here, a good bit of terminal performance stuff including pics, and lots of other info. This next season there will be more, as I will be using the .338 cal 250 SBDII, my cousin and his wife will both be using the .277 140 SBDII, and my wife may be using the 7mm 160 SBDII, not to mention all the other people on that thread. Here is the link -

Badlands Precision Bullets thread - From BC to terminal ballistics

There seems to have been rising interest in these bullets, but information is spread out and somewhat limited, so hopefully this thread will help consolidate information. I would like to keep this thread somewhat organized, accurate, and to the point. If you have first hand experience please...

Thanks very much for the information on the other thread. I will post the results of my loading in my 6.5 CM on the other thread.

Any more news on the performance on these bullets? Been working up a few loads for California Deer in my 243AI

I loaded some up for my 260AI and shot an Axis doe at about 40 yards. She was quartering to and I put it on the point of her shoulder. The bullet was not recovered but the internal trauma was massive. She did manage to run about 60 yards before piling up as I recall.

I don't know if they changed design between the start of this thread but Bulldozer 2 bullets do not pressure up quickly, at least not in my 7.5 twist Brux barrel. I have them shooting 3150 from a 24" barrel and can drive them faster. There was a good node at 3150 so I stopped there for the time being.

Perfect this helps. Appreciate the info

Have had better results with the Hammer Hunters by far. Have Badlands that I may just throw away

At what yardages have you had better results, by far?

How many kills with each bullet?

I would gladly take them and put them to good use instead of wasting them.

Hammer hunters on game out to 856. No kills with bulldozer could not get them to shoot. Was told I got a bad batch

Did they offer to replace the bad batch? My offer still stands to take that bad batch.
