I used the 130 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips in my .270 Win for years pushed by 54 grains of IMR4350 powder and CCI primer. With it I killed 2 antelope and countless deer all DRT at distances form literally spitting distance to over 400 yards. I never had a single problem with them and they were remarkably accurate.

I just ordered another 500 .257" 100 grain Ballistic Tip Hunting bullets (ten boxes of 50). They do shoot great out of all of my .257" rifles. Usually these are only used for pronghorns but this season I will try them again on a whitetail to see if the newest version will hold together.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll be shooting the 95gr BT at some Nebraska whitetail in 8 days!

Clem, I always wanted a 257 Roberts. Someday when I have enough funny money that will be my next rifle.

I will not be posting often for the forseeable future. It was fun while it lasted but I feel a change in the wind. I will try to remember to post the results of my use of the BT on deer this year. Thanks again to everyone that responded.

Hate to see you leave us. You have a lot of knowledge and experience that we all could benefit from.

Ed - I believe you got me mixed up with BigUncle! Unless his name is Clem too?!?!

Goodness gracious what velocity are those bullets coming out at? I see melted tips downrange. You better start using Hornady ELDs.
I don't see any information on this round on the internet

Clem, you're right I did get you mixed up with Bob.

Sorry Bob aka BigUncle!

Only going 3450 right now, it's pretty mild but we're running out of time to "max" it out.

It's my own wildcat. It's a 6.5 Rem Mag necked to 6mm and then "improved" with a double radius shoulder.
