Default Bang Flop of course

Cold today with an inch or 2 of fresh snow.On my way to my stand Working real slow along logging road. Spotted small buck (aka the good eating kind) coming down off high ridge. When he hit the road he was quarter away.I took a low shoulder shot and he vanished. I reloaded and worked slow toward the spot. DRT He dropped and slid down the bank. 260 Nosler shattered the right shoulder and exited at the base of the neck. 125 yards 105 gr 777/3f Partition HG. MASSIVE INTERNAL DAMAGE. You gotta love these bullets.

Ditto - Ditto - Ditto -> excellent bullets

I got one today with a 260 also - mine went right down also - and I mean right down - broke his back right at his hind quarters... I know not a good shot -just took what I had... Found the bullet lodged in the spine an pelvic area...

Congrats to both of you. I may have to try them next year. Until then I will stick with my Shock Waves and my XTPs.

Bronko-I have used both SST and XTP's with success,but the Nosler is far superior to both(In my experience)
