Give me a shot at a 220# six year old buck at 70 yards hard quartering away and I'll gladly take that "premium" bullet all day every day. Just my actual field experiences killing a couple of deer over the last 45 years......


+1 on that. used NBT for years but not anymore. i mostly let my daughter kill the does anymore so i will be using my 300 win mag with 180 accubond all year this yr. very rarely have i ever had to help track a doe very far. seems the deer people always lose are the big bucks. they are just tougher and harder to bring down. factor in they don't give you much time for a good shot + buck fever = just asking for it with a ballistic tip.
