Finally got around to getting the last of my gen 1 BD's used up and got a load figured out with the 2nd generation BD's to use this year!
So far they've been great, pretty small sample size for kills but data is data.
Custom 6.5prc, 26" LT Palma 4 groove Krieger barrel with a Origin SA
56g RL 23 going average at 3217fps
2.284 BTO (don't remember the exact thousands off, will update)
The white tailed deer were around 235-245 yards, impact should've been around 2781fps.
First one took two shots, she was the bigger of the two. First round entered the neck and came out in the opposite shoulder destroying the bone in that shoulder, never seen so much bone fragmentation! The deer then tried to get up after a bit and I launched one into her head, right in front of her eye and it came out her neck(lights out). I did find a fragment of copper in the destroyed shoulder, not as destroyed as if I would've used a non-bonded cup and core I believe.
