Badlands Precision Bullets thread - From BC to terminal ballistics

Yes I'm using them now.

On high velocity calibers or big bore calibers like Mike D?

I use them in my 458 Socom but have not used them in any other high velocity cartridges.

I'm not sure his are lathe turned though.

Lol yeah lots and lots of people do in their big bore rifles.

Yeah, not sure if that matters if they are made by say a 5 axis machine, should be the same quality as lathe turned.

I was meaning I wasn't sure if they a machined bullet or swaged. They are similar in construction to a Barnes bullet but with larger cuts for the petals to peel back.

The Makers expand to wicked dimensions from a 458 Socom.

High velocity, in my 27 Sherman mag, 7mm stw, and now in my 25 souper. From 2800 to 3500 fps.

Nice!!
How do you like them? How far have you taken animals and what kind of terminal performance, performance in general did you see? How have finding loads and accuracy been?

There super easy to get to shoot. Here's my new 25 souper 2 days ago doing long development with the 115gr trex. 6 shoots.

Here's the 27 Sherman with 160gr T-Rex

And here's my stw.

That 27SM gives me butterflies every time you post a photo.

Shameless plug, if anyone needs .243 or .264 Badlands.

Note that all the .308 and 125gr .264 from my other ad have been sold.

Have you taken any animals with these rifles and how far? Pretty reliable bullets on game?

Yes, I have taken 4 mule deer with the 27. All where bang flops. All were pass through, but I did find a couple pedals from one.

I had bought a box of 175 and 150 .308 just prior to the shutdown. Painful to realize I could get sub MOA and 3000 fps out of the 150's in my 19 inch barreled 30-06. I only have 20 left to actually use after load development. Anyone out there have some they aren't using?

If you do I'd be happy to buy them from you.
