Nice shooting and i really like the looks fo the new Nosler 40-200s. They are getting some really good accuracy reviews at SML speeds too including a 300yard impact recovery. It held together better than i expected.

The modded bullet is a Barnes 40-155gr TAC-XP. I added a pure lead 22cal North American Arms BP ML bullet to the hollow point. It left enough room for a shallow hollow point. I actually got the idea from another bullet Lehigh offers. I wanted a heavier bullet without the added length. Im still perfecting the method to add the extra weight for use in the Lehigh 185gr DOA.

I shot many of them at paper but i didnt test them on media. Last year i let my buddy use one in my old Accura 45 but told him to make sure he hit bone to insure expansion.

This is the carnage of the exit wound at just over 150yards with around 105-110gr of BH209.


I wasn't sure it would expand but this pic sure looks like it expanded this time.
