thats actualy my deer load and varmit load to boot.

100gr nsler balistic tipp. cant remember how fast exackly but 3500fps sounds just about right.

i also loaded 100gr nolser partitions but they didnt shoot near as well so i gave up on them and went with what was the most acurate.

i used to load 85gr nolser bts and 75gr vmaxes but i kinda quit because the 100grs shoot very well so i figured why not use them for everything.

ive taken a few coyotes and badgers with the 100gr nosler bt and like the results. bullet didnt blow them apart at close or long range. so i slowly became confident with the load as my deer and varmit load.

i still will load some 75gr vmaxes to get the cool redmist effect from smaller critters, i used up all my 85 bts and wont be getting anymore, though this bullet coul also be made into screamer pushn the 3700fps mark. it had the same effect on varmits.

actualy i might change my mind and work with the 85gr bullet some more to see what i can cook up in fast acurate load if possible. might be my new antelop load you just talked me into


hmmmmm but whatif my 270wsm can push the 130gr nosler balistic tipp close to 3500, right now im loading the 140gr nosler bt to to a moderate 3100. hmmmmm did i decide on the nolser balistic tipp as my deer load, when did that happen.

acuracy draws me to the bullet more than bullet desing does. i doubt ill load 130sww in it when its already pushn 140s plenty fast, and could go faster. but right now were sitn good where were at, drivin the 140 to 3100 acuratly, and that didnt come realy easy, i tried more than a few difrent powder charges to find the acurate load.

i have pretty much came to nosler balistic tipps as my deer load. shot a coyote with the 140gr bt at bout 300yds with the 270wsm and bullet didnt exit. ive taken alot of varmits with nosler bts and havent seen them get very devestateiing. i even took a few rock chucks with the 140gr plastic tipped slug with little mess.

ive shot yotes with 55gr vmaxes out of the 220swift that left a football sized hole at that range on acasion, the same bullet at distance sometimes wouldnt exit

all my calibers 277 and smaller will shoot balsitic tipps because ive found that they are just acurate and are produceing results i like to see. the 22s shoot vmaxes and the 25 and 270s shoot nolser.

the 300win will get alittle difrent treatment and be fed dieat of tough bullets. im gona start my schooling in the 300win caliber with 168gr barnes tripple shocks. if i find a load fairly quick i might settle righ there?

but ill also try the same bullet thats weighs more, 180 or 200grs.



if im not happy with tripple shocks ill go to partitions.

after my heavy critter getter loads are good to go ill try some 165gr nolser bts, just because i can and might try the load on some varmits.

those are the plans as of now

Evan
