I shot a mulie at 223 yards , she didnt go but 20 yards. The bullet went clean through and killed the yearling standing behind her. He dropped on the spot. That was a 250 gr shockwave. Dropped a mulie at 234 yards with a barnes tmz 290 gr. Needless to say because of those two and numerous others I am a big Barnes fan. I am testing lehighs this year but at the moment still prefer Barnes.

Thanks, that’s the kind of real life experiences I am looking for. I will definitely be looking for your report and everyone else’s on the bloodlines.

The 300grn Bloodline should exit every time. Of course there are exceptions with all bullets. Once people understand how this bullet works, they will see that bigger isn't always better.

After reading some of your post and people losing game, i think you will love the Bloodlines. Those petals shear and get into the vitals and cause damage and even more trauma. They even help when a bad shot is made.

I have done a lot of testing on game and on targets. I really believe this is the best ML bullet made today. Now it's for sure the best bullet i ever used. I will say, i never used any Nosler bullets. Below are some examples of performance on game.

I don't see any elk hanging there.

I find it hard to believe any bullet can out perform a Nosler Partition.
