Here is a recoved Nosler Partition from last year's ML buck I got at about 30 yard facing me in the brisket, bullet was rear hind quarter under hide, perfect expansion. Chap Gleason

Here is a Speer Gold Dot 300g (SabotLoader was genesis of this for me)recoved from a doe shot with a TC FL last season. Perfect expansion. Petals on Gold Dot are VERY strong metal.

Let's see if I can attach these. They are both precision rifle 220 grain dead center bullets shot over 80 grains of 777 powder. Light recoil and incredible performance. I only shoot in typical situation 50-75 yards. But, I'm sure they would perform extremely well at longer distances.

Gleason, What powder and how many grains did you shoot with those gold dots and at what distance? Those look sweet. Thanks for sharing, Greg

This is a 250 grain Hornady SSTthat fell out while handling a field dressed hog. The bullet broke two ribs going in.A bang flop. The picture title is wrong.

Range: Later measured with laser range finder at 192 yards.
Gun: Encore
Powder: 90 grains of JSG.
Primer: Winchester 209 shotgun.
Bullet retained weight: 167 grains.

Posted the picture of the wrong bullet. The things that can go wrong when one gets old.

This was shot from a TC FlintLock lock with 80g of FFF Goex, crushed rib sabot, sight in at 50 yards. The petals on the crushed rib are strong, not thin, the bonding of the bullet to the lead is verygood and well done, it doesn't separate from the bullet core. The Hollow point is deep and expands rapidly and well. In my mind it is an excellent ML bullet at a very resonable price, $16 for 50. I have 50 Nosler Partitions 300g HG PP left, I will use them this year in my Omega and Knight, but I will switch to the Gold Dot when I am done with that box. Sabotloader gave me the tip onSpeer Gold Dot, and his recommendations are alwaysright on target.

That gold dot surely does look good...great expansion all the way down to the dot and really fairly uniform... I have been a bit amazed by the toughness of the petals...

Lee wrote in last week that he had use a 250 GD with great success also. You guys are getting me to want to pull the trigger early this year on a deer.... but i keep fighting the temptation... I have all of November - if I shoot now them I have to do "honey do's" - & can not go hunting... I'll wait till the last couple of days of the season - I hope..
