Thread: terminal ascent projectiles

@300_BLK 130gr they are using them in factory loaded 6.5 CM (Be way cooler in a 264 win mag lol) and also the 6.5PRC
some of the blurb suggests that they are a little longer due to having a shit ton of copper in there with only a little lead so they are like Barnes in that respect ie lighter
but with the lead to help it mushroom a lot better when it gets out there.
Gets good write-ups for the 300 cals. reports are that it isn't an ultimate tack driver although still fine but with a new tip and the lead it still mushrooms whilst having the solid rear to carry on through. See below a test done in Africa with a 200gr out of a 300 win mag the guy set up to try them out.
I will say the ones from a long way out look odd but they still kept weight, mushroomed and did the job. you can certainly see the difference from the one used at 500 odd yards and the ones from 900ish
