Nosler Partition Scorecard

[Chasam60]

Directions: Post a BRIEF summary with - bullet weight, powder/charge, MV (if you know it), gun, range of shot, distance deer ran after shot, location of hit, characterization of wound channel damage, blood trail if relevant, and anything else you feel relevant to evaluating bullet performance on the shot.

If the deer is not recovered you can still share this information, but please refrain from guessing where the hit was located as this cannot be confirmed without recovering the animal.

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT POST THE REPORT IN THIS THREAD, IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED!

Holy cow! I can not even tell you how many deer I have shot with the Nosler 260 - Three different loads T7-2f -> 100 grain, 110 grains, and 120 grains in the Extreme.

One whitetail did make it 30 yards sidehill and another one almost 40 yards downhill.

All but two, that I remember were complete pass throughs. One was a frontal shot and the bullet traveled to the rear ham. Can not remember what the other one was.

The bullet creates a tremendous amount of hysrostatic pressure in the chest cavity - tends to turn the lungs to jello - whether you hit them or not, most often jello's up part of the heart and liver also.

Shooting the 260's about 3" high at 100 - dead on at 147 and 3" down @ 178 yards.

My average velocity is 1860 fps.
