I figure out how to upload videos to youtube. So I'll be sharing some terminal performance videos of different bullets on game animals. They'll be shared separately and the thread titles will be different just for ease of when people are searching for this specific info on the internet.

28 Nosler
169 HH
3250fps MV

Bullet entered point of the shoulder and exited by the last rib. 20+ inches of penetration.

So what bullet will be your go to?
Still a tough decision. They both performed great and exactly how they were intended to perform. I’m setting up a big 30 cal now and think I’m going to shoot the 181 hammers as long as they’re accurate and produce 3400+FPS.

3400 + would do a number on animals! I shoot the 181 out of my won mag right at 3000 with out pushing it really hard

It was with me on an antelope hunt this past fall. Some miscommunication with a buddy ended with a steep 1/4 away shot at about 250 yards bullet entered the back hip and stopped just under the hide on the opposite front shoulder. It penetrated the full length of the buck very happy with how the bullet preformed recovered the shank and 2 or 3 pieces that broke off.

Awesome!! Did the shank look how it was supposed to? And were the recovered pedals decent sized?

The shank did it had a slight mushroom and I didn't weigh the pedals but 1 was pretty good size then a little smaller and the 3rd was pretty small
