I'll be giving these a try. Fur around here goes for almost nothing so it doesn't matter if there is a large exit hole. My hope was that these would be comparable to the Sierra Game Kings. Accuracy was what I've come to expect out of Nosler bullets. |

After years of accolades for the accuracy and complaints of fragility, I understand Sierra toughed the jackets of .338 BT's and larger, not the smaller ones. The might have changed .308's as well, but that was not noted in the write up I read. Seems to me, they advertised this as well, with cross-section photos showing very thick jackets.
What was written up by one hunter was the 200gr. BT Sierra becoming one of the best, if not the best bullet for Elk from a .338 - lovely expansion yet exits on broadside shots, instead of destroyed front shoulders from hits behind the leg. Apparently, this had been the norm, with the solid based bullet of "before" the varmint craze.

My experience with BT bullets was with the early Nosler 140gr. in a 280 Rem. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth for plastic tip bullets. I still don't have any in any caliber.
Sierra is discontinuing their 50 and 55gr. smp bullets in .224 so I bought some to compare to the Nosler Solid Base Expanders. I've shot a lot of Sierra 40gr. hp's in the past and really liked them .....on paper . No Coyotes were used as targets.........yet. |

In spite of all of the magical ballistic things that the new wonder bullets do to allow me to hit coyotes at extended internet raving ranges, when bullet hits coyote, a lead tipped bullet still performs very well. Followed by well made HP bullets.
Blistic tipped bullets work great on pds -BCB

And they are pretty hard. They ricochet pretty easily if they hit on hard surfaces, even the ground at low angles.

I never saw any ricochet's in shooting them in the pivots or rocky areas, they seemed to just come apart upon hitting anything solid, like that and did not skip on, even the solid base.
They sure did open holes in coyotes and rock chucks and blew ground squirrels into pieces. I liked them and would still shoot them, if you could get them, and my commie state would lift the lead bullet ban. ( you know to save the Condor) |
