Default Parker 275 grain Ballistic Extreme

The other day Scott sent a pile of bullets. He mentioned he would really like to see the Platinum, and the 275g Parker BE tested. A couple of days ago the Platinum was shot, and this morning the Parker was shot through carpet, shelving, and water filled jugs. The load was 80g Blackhorn; range was 26 yard.












The bullet made a small entry hole in the first jug, then blew out the backside. The front of the second jug had quite a large entry hole, and the jug was blown, and flattened. The third jug is where the bullet was found; it has a hole in, and no hole out; just a dent. The fourth jug still holds water; has a scar where the bullet hit. The bullet now weighs 201.3g.

I wish they would bond that jacket to the lead.

I've had great success on Deer size game with this bullet. I would not use on Elk or Russian Boar after seeing your test.

I shoot this bullet in a couple rifles. So this test was helpful. Very interesting results.

Thats about what i expected. This is why im very cautious about recommending it to others. They have been crazy accurate in my ULA and im sure i push them way faster.

The only harvests ive witnessed were perfect though and both had two holes. Ive never seen a deer drop so fast from a cup and core bullet in the vitals.

Thank you Ron.

Looks like they are about perfect for whitetail sized game. That is if you don't count on pass throughs. They look to penetrate just the right amount then dump all in the vitals. I'm with Grouse on this one. I'd probably use it on WT but big hogs and Elk sized game probably not.
