Thanks for the replies folks. I look forward to shooting these rounds more with different charges and weights as well.
I also see what some are saying about not needing such a deep penetrating bullet for most fairly close whitetail ranges, inside of 125 yards.What are eveyones experiences using the standard Shockwave compared to the Bonded version? Would it be in my best interest in shooting the more rapidly expanding standard version??? Thanks again for any and all feedback
The standard I believe shed their jacket at closer ranges when shot fast. I think the bonded are better and if you shoot thru a deer at 50 yards the exit wound on a .45cal projectile is same a shooting with a .30-06 and shooting thru. I believe penetration with controlled expansion and shoot thru is what I am looking for with accuracy. Accuracy #1. Penetration with Expansion& no fragmentation is #2, shoot thru is #3.
I know the Noslers do this for my Omega and Knight. I >>believe<< the Barnes TMZ 300 or the Knight Ultimate Slam 290 do this, but I have not shot them yet at targets or deer, I have them to test in my
Savage 10ML. Oh the Knight Ultimate Slam 290g have the spire tip, so they have a pretty high BC.
The Knights were $17 for 25 bullets at Cabelas, so cheaper than most designer bullets.
