Witnessed two heavy red hinds shot with this bullet from a 6.5-284. Poleaxed them, through both shoulders, DRT. Range was about 400m. I was guiding on the day, not shooting.
Was very impressed back at the shed, minimal bloodshot, clean wounding. I don’t know the guy well but I might be able to get some photos because I remember his son was snapping away while we skinned the deer.
The cartridge I really wanted to get these for is the 6mm, but for some unknown reason Speer has declined to make a 6mm version (so far).
Yep they are pretty brutal I love them I tried the 120s in the grendel and 6.5 06 and now working a 140gr load up for the 06 nice looking bullet as well
I wanted to use them in a 223 on deer, but just couldn't get them to shoot. Tried the 55 and 62 grn and various powders. Anyone got them shooting in a .223?
I use the 120s in a .260 to good effect
What twist @Tahr?Quote:

Similar I think. Bit better BC. I use them lightish for cal, partly to increase MPBR on my 260 which has a non dial scope.
i use 120gn gold dots in my 260 aswell group well still havent game test yet 😭
Get into a nice bit of bush edge or forest cutover up your way for a treat:thumbsup:
I was surprised too. It was in a finicky model 7. So I moved on and it shoots the Target 69grn (and 52) great.Quote:

I wouldn't mind betting however that the manufacturing process and plant is the same.
They were 50 bucks for 50 I think at reloaders.
I ended up getting game changers for 79 bucks for a 100
