In my 30-06 The 130gr.BTS really smokes.High velocity (3100-3200fps)and flat shooting capabilities its now use it for long range deer hunting...Like R.D. said great for long ranges...
Perfect for coyotes up to deer....
The boattail design gives it a high B.C. (somewhere in the .380)
for the size of bullet....
I've tried it on a few coyotes this yearseveral at around 385yrds -410 and dumped them..
I will use it for this deer seaon......The 130 weight.. recovered retention at 125gr.and higher..
A conventional bullet may give you 60% of overall weight when its recovered.....You'll be lucky to get 125gr and higher after you recover a conventional bullet weighing 150-180 gr...
The 130gr. will be the wave of the future for alot of hunters
that deal with long range deer hunting but can't handle the heavier recoil of magnums....Perfect for women....
