As Sabot loader stated,the Nosler 260 partition will expand on meat (as will the Gold Dot and the Barnes Expander.)
Bingo. Folks may want to read this article on Terminal Sectional Density:

http://www.snipersparadise.com/tsmag/July03/july03.htm

http://www.the-gleasons.com/TSD%20Wound%20Chart-MZ.htm

You can see that the Nosler Partition and the Barnes MZ are close to each other in Penetration depth.

Check out the formula for SD and TSD and see how meplat figures into it. Note that a fragmenting bullet has a near zero final weight, so making TSD very small for this type of bullet. Note that the Copper Magnum Black Belt is sold today asa PB.

Please note this quote in Al Marion's article, which was what I was saying on another thread about "pancaking" or long shanks are a thing of beauty.

Busta over on MM posted some pics of a 440g white conical that looked like my other set of 405 powerbelts. Pancakes are going to create a huge hole through the animal. Which in turn as i found out, leaves a darn good blood trail and a dead animal a stone throw away. That 440 white conical also looked like pictures of my 370g maxiball, only my maxi had a bit of weakness in the center.

I liked the looks of that 405 you posted not toolong ago.A moderate mushroom with a long shank to keep driving the bullet.You shouldtest tosee at what charge you have to shoot those lighter PB's at to get them to mirror the 405s.

80g Pyro select @ 100 yards, Hit a 2x4 and then went into a pile of sand behind the target,295 HP

I know what you mean, I copy pasted it into my email program so I could read it. Printing it to PDF gets the green backgroup color out of it also. Chap

Well somebody's gotta do it. We are the lab for the people who make bullets, since we compare note and see what works. Once you read a lot abouta given bullet on this and other boards, some patterns emerge. But I would claim that the theory makes sense, especially with regard to "spash" effect in the article and broad meplat bullets that are solid, and expanding, so called "balenced bullets" or controlled expansion bullets.

I fell pray to the advertising hype(which I am prone to do) and bought the Nikon Omega BDC scope for my Encore and picked up some SW 250's per the scope reccomendation for the BDC and 150grn charge.
I have yet to try it.I knew less then than I do now and that seems like allot of shoulder punisment.
