Default Nosler Bt and Nosler accubonds

I have loaded Bt @ 3250 for my 270wsm.

A couple of factors to consider. Type of game your hunting. Distance you predict your average shot would be.

Ballistic tips and Accubonds are very similar in shape.
I prefer to practice loading up with Bt. But when it comes time to hunt game I go with accubonds.
Just a better choice with velocity over 3200 fps.

You know nothing about me and yet have zero qualms about spouting off about it. Buying my way into heaven? What in the world does that mean?

I’ve apologized to Don privately and am now apologizing publicly.

For the most part I enjoy Chuck's posting. I don't always agree but that's part of an open discussion.
Chuck seems to be a straight shooter. He gives his opinions in plain english and gets right to the point. He doesn't waffle around for 20 posts.
Perhaps some people need to retreat to their safe spaces.

I shoot Winchester 150gr BST’s out of my 270WSM and have had great results with them for 15 years now. In that time I’ve also tried a bunch of different factory loads but keep going back to the 150gr BST’s. Everything I’ve pointed my rifle at from Island Blacktails to Moose has dropped with one shot. Deer get anchored in the spot and moose/elk/black bears haven’t gone far.

I sometimes think people overthink the whole bullet construction thing. With a well placed shot it doesn’t matter a whole pile what the bullet you’re shooting is. But heck, that’s just my opinion, and it’s hard to convince me otherwise when stuff keeps tipping over.

I've enjoyed Dons posts. You can tell by his online personality that he is a salt of the earth kinda guy. A guy that anyone would enjoy in their camp or on the shooting line. I feel like I know him yet we have unfortunately never met.
To get annoyed by Dons posts would require a heavy dose of narcissism.

Not looking for stories that you personally have not witnessed. But actual experience.
My 270 weatherby loves them and shoots them better than anything, but not sure at there speed if I want them or not. I tried some Berger's but she doesn't group them well, and I am not a big fan of paying the ridiculous price for partitions.(I know they work, but $65 for 50 seams terrible) Also don't really want to go to barnes unless I absolutely have to, as they have been very copper fouling in my other guns, and have been delayed in killing as well.
I have run Swift Scirroco11 in my old 257bee and they seamed not to open up unless you hit bone, had three different deer, run along bloody ways(pun intended) before they died, and found about a identical in and out hole. So sometimes to hard of bullet is not great either.
I would definitely recommend accubond at those velocities.

Chuck is straight to the point, and very blunt, but I don't mind that, because he speaks from experience. I honestly believe that some people are simply envious that he does get to spend so much time hunting and shooting, and that he does own quality gear. And I find posts that ramble on and on with no real point, in grade three English, just as annoying as he does.

I have never met Chuck, and I don't always agree with him, but at least he offers information that can be beneficial at times, and it doesn't require an expert in jibberish to translate his posts.

Im still waiting for chuck to share something of value without trying to brag?
Still waiting to see any sort of accomplishment that justifies the arrogance

As opposed to waiting to see the justification for the post you made, that offended a great deal of people that choose to attend church on Sundays? There are boundaries that shouldn't be crossed, and insulting someone's faith is one of them.

he left the forum because someone asked him what he meant when he typed the word 'Boolitz'???

with all the advancement in gear these days and the number of companies out there, who is to know if some weird spelled word isn't a new company or piece of equipment.

Don has been typing the word boolitz for a long time, so your story doesn't fly at all. Spin it any way you want and there were 3 members all in a row who tagged him for no reason and they knew darn well what he was typing.

I hope he comes back because he is well liked and he may not know as much as the experts on here,but he has 10x the class as many on this site and a good decent person which some could learn many things from about just having a bit of fun.

I know this discussion has centered around big game hunting, but varmint hunting wasn't explicitly denied, so OP I apologize if you feel this is a derail.

There seems to be a trend here, as I haven't been impressed with the factory ammo 40gr BT @ 4250fps in my (albeit limited) experience shooting them on coyote or gopher, the 55gr Vmax @3700 or so is superior IMO. As one poster noted earlier they might be fine on the perfect broadside shot, but I don't trust them to hang together. BUT- they shoot great on paper, so I keep them around for when I feel the need for speed lol. Maybe my 1:12 twist barrel has something to do with it, IDK.

WRT "Boolits", I first encountered the term when web searching info for casting bullets. It is used quite a bit when referring to "a lead or lead alloy projectile produced by pouring the molten metal into a split cavity with a profile such that when the metal cools to solid phase and the cavity is opened, a projectile of satisfactory aerodynamic form results."

Im pretty sure anyone that goes to church on sundays knows the type of person that im referring to. And they know that I'm not insulting anything they believe in.
Maybe you should reread what I wrote

Back to the topic posted orginally
Ive shot bt at over 3200 fps and they make a mess
At those speeds an accubond would retain a little more mass and wouldnt shed as much on up close impacts
A friend i sold a 26 nosler to shot a mature bull elk at 40 yards with the ablr. He said he's never seen anything hit the dirt so hard
Thats 3400 fps with a soft bullet

I agree with this. You are attacking me personally. As you have done repeatedly on this forum. Your intent is slanderous and intended in malice. Not to mention hypocritical. Your agenda is clear and based on the posts here, pm’s and emails I’ve received others are of like mind.

Thanks captain obvious
Tough guy can trash talk an old man, but can’t take it when someone calls you out
Funny only 1 person semi stood up for you

Anyways I’m not getting into it with you
Keep shooting your squeaker bulls and bucks
And keep your head buried in the sand
Keep telling yourself, Dam I’m Good Just Ask Me

First word really isn’t dam

Well you guys don't have to worry about being annoyed by what you call non-sense anymore because you've chased him off the forum.
The internet is an easy place to be a bully.

further............

for what it's worth, i don't know him but didn't like what chuck had to say about a guy who was obviously just having some nonsense fun, but at least he posted a public apology for what he said.

...........that's a bigger man than some who are lurking around here.

now back to the nosler boat tails............i shot an elk a couple years ago @ about 400 yards with the 140 gr out of my .270 and it clobbered him. mind you, it would have been travelling a lot less than 3200 when it got there.
